Quote

In Buddhism, there is no place for using effort. Just be ordinary and nothing special. Eat your food, move your bowels, pass water and when you're tired go and lie down. The ignorant will laugh at me, but the wise will understand.

More quotes by Bruce Lee

Self-will seems to be the only virtue that takes no account of man-made laws.
Bruce Lee
Image
Many people dedicate their lives to actualizing a concept of what they should be like, rather than actualizing themselves. This difference between self-actualization and self-image actualization is very important. Most people live only for their image
Bruce Lee
Image
We [tend to] have more faith in what we imitate than in what we originate. We [often feel that we] cannot derive a sense of absolute certitude from anything which has its root in us. The most poignant sense of insecurity comes from standing alone we are not alone when we imitate.
Bruce Lee
Image
Let yourself go with dis-ease, be with it, and keep it company. This is the way to be rid of it.
Bruce Lee
Image
When you say that something is impossible, you have made it impossible.
Bruce Lee
Image
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
Image
Bring the mind into sharp focus and make it alert so that it can immediately intuit truth, which is everywhere. The mind must be emancipated from old habits, prejudices, restrictive thought processes and even ordinary thought itself.
Bruce Lee
Image
Can you look at a situation without naming it? Naming it, making it a word, causes fear.
Bruce Lee
Image
To tell the truth, I could beat anybody in the world.
Bruce Lee
Image
Maturation is the development from environmental support to self-support.
Bruce Lee
Image
A kung fu man lives without being dependant on the opinions of others, and a master, unlike the beginner, holds himself in reserve. He is quiet and unassuming, with no desire to show off.
Bruce Lee
Image
To understand your fear is the beginning of really seeing.
Bruce Lee
Image
A self-willed man obeys a different law, the one law I, too, hold absolutely sacred the human law in himself, his own individual will.
Bruce Lee
Image
Let nature take its course and your tools will strike at the right moment.
Bruce Lee
Image
Unfortunately, now in boxing people are only allowed to punch. In Judo, people are only allowed to throw. I do not despise these kinds of martial arts. What I mean is, we now find rigid forms which create differences among clans, and the world of martial art is shattered as a result.
Bruce Lee
Image
To reach me, you must move to me. Your attack offers me an opportunity to intercept you.
Bruce Lee
Image
Art reaches its greatest peak when devoid of self-consciousness. Freedom discovers man the moment he loses concern over what impression he is making or about to make.
Bruce Lee
Image
Real living is living for others.
Bruce Lee

You will never get any more out of this life than you expect.

The possession of anything begins in the mind.
