Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Let nature take its course and your tools will strike at the right moment.
Bruce Lee
Image
There are too many stars and too few actors.
Bruce Lee
Image
The more relaxed the muscles are, the more energy can flow through the body. Using muscular tensions to try to 'do' the punch or attempting to use brute force to knock someone over will only work to opposite effect.
Bruce Lee
Image
Remember, success is a journey not a destination. Have faith in your ability. You will do just fine.
Bruce Lee
Image
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
Bruce Lee
Image
Sorrows are our best educator. A man can see further through a tear than a telescope.
Bruce Lee
Image
A kung fu man who was really good was not proud at all. Pride emphasizes the superiority of one's status. There has to be fear and insecurity in pride, because when you aim at being highly esteemed and achieve such status, you automatically start to worry about losing status.

When you feel pain, you know that you are still alive.
Bruce Lee
Image
Learning is never cumulative, it is a movement of knowing which has no beginning and no end.
Bruce Lee
Image
Willing is not enough, one must apply.
Bruce Lee
Image
The perfect way is only difficult for those who pick and choose. Do not like, do not dislike all will then be clear. Make a hairbreadth difference and heaven and earth are set apart if you want the truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against. The struggle between 'for' and 'against' is the mind's worst disease.
Bruce Lee
Image
The Now is indivisible. Completeness, the now, is an absence of the conscious mind to strive to divide that which is indivisible. For once the completeness of things is taken apart it is no longer complete.
Bruce Lee
Image
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
Image
Low aim, not failure, is the crime.
Bruce Lee
Image
Every morning like a scholar at his first class I prepare a blank mind for the day to write upon.
Bruce Lee
Image
I'm not a master. I'm a student-master, meaning that I have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but I'm still learning. So I'm a student-master. I don't believe in the word 'master.' I consider the master as such when they close the casket.

If you don't want to slip up tomorrow, speak the truth today.
