I am not afraid of a person who knows 10000 kicks. But I am afraid of a person who knows one kick but practices it for 10000 times.

More quotes by Bruce Lee
Let nature take its course and your tools will strike at the right moment.
Bruce Lee
All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.
Bruce Lee
The martial arts are based upon understanding, hard work and a total comprehension of skills. Power training and the use of force are easy, but total comprehension of all of the skills of the martial arts is very difficult to achieve.
Bruce Lee
For something that is static, fixed, dead, there can be a way or a definite path but not for anything that is moving and living.
Bruce Lee
To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery.
Bruce Lee
All goals apart from the means are illusions becoming is a denial of being.
Bruce Lee
Use karate, judo, aikido, or any style to build your counter-offensive. It will be interesting!
Bruce Lee
If you follow the classical pattern, you are understanding the routine, the tradition, the shadow -- you are not understanding yourself.
Bruce Lee
Give recognition where it is due. Compliments stimulate more effort and desire to improve. Be generous with honest praising.
Bruce Lee
The athlete who is building muscles though weight training should be very sure to work adequately on speed and flexibility at the same time. In combat, without the prior attributes, a strong man will be like the bull with its colossal strength futilely pursuing the matador or like a low-geared truck chasing a rabbit.
Bruce Lee
The principle of martial arts is not a thing that can be learned, like a science, by fact-finding and instruction in facts. It has to grow spontaneously, like a flower, in a mind free from emotions and desires.
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
Can you look at a situation without naming it? Naming it, making it a word, causes fear.
Bruce Lee
Let the spirit out - Discard all thoughts of reward, all hopes of praise and fears of blame, all awareness of one's bodily self. And, finally closing the avenues of sense perception, let the spirit out, as it will.
Bruce Lee
Ideas are the beginning of all achievement.
Bruce Lee
Art is never decoration, embellishment instead, it is work of enlightenment. Art, in other words, is a technique for acquiring liberty.
Bruce Lee
Self-knowledge is the basis of jeet kune do because it is effective not only for the individual's martial art but also for his life as a human being.
Bruce Lee
Genius: The capacity to see and to express what is simple, simply!
Bruce Lee
Be self aware, rather than a repetitious robot
Bruce Lee
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.
