More quotes by Bruce Lee
Give up thinking as though not giving it up. Observe techniques as though not observing.
Bruce Lee
Bring the mind to a sharp focus and make it alert so that it can immediately intuit truth, which is everywhere.
Bruce Lee
Belts are only good for holding up your pants
Bruce Lee
When you point to the moon, what do you see in front of your finger Your task is to feel, not to think, when you can understand that the lesson will be learned.
Bruce Lee
If you don't want to slip up tomorrow, speak the truth today.
Bruce Lee
Nothingness cannot be defined the softest thing cannot be snapped.
Bruce Lee
Because one does not want to be disturbed, to be made uncertain, he establishes a pattern of conduct, of thought, a pattern of relationships to man. He then becomes a slave to the pattern and takes the pattern to be the real thing.
Bruce Lee
Long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity.
Bruce Lee
Emptiness the starting point. — In order to taste my cup of water you must first empty your cup. My friend, drop all your preconceived and fixed ideas and be neutral. Do you know why this cup is useful? Because it is empty.
Bruce Lee
In combat, spontaneity rules rote performance of technique perishes.
Bruce Lee
Take what's useful, discard what is not.
Bruce Lee
Zen is not “attained” by mirror-wiping mediation, but by “self-forgetfulness in the existential 'present' of life here and now.” We do not “come”, we “are.” Don't strive to become, but be.
Bruce Lee
Life is wide, limitless. There is no border, no frontier.
Bruce Lee
Don't be forecasting evil unless it is what you can guard against. Anxiety is good for nothing if we can't turn it into a defense.
Bruce Lee
What is true stillness? Stillness in movement.
Bruce Lee
Everyone wants to learn how to win, but no one wants to learn how to accept defeat.
Bruce Lee
Time means a lot to me because, you see, I, too, am also a learner and am often lost in the joy of forever developing and simplifying. If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
Bruce Lee
Not being tense but ready. Not thinking but not dreaming. Not being set but flexible. Liberation from the uneasy sense of confinement. It is being wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come.
Bruce Lee
It's the law of averages: put in more, come out with more.
Bruce Lee
The core of understanding lies in the individual mind, and until that is touched everything is uncertain and superficial. Truth cannot be perceived until we come to fully understand our potential and ourselves. After all, knowledge in the martial arts ultimately means self-knowledge.
Bruce Lee
