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
Concentration is the root of all the higher abilities in man.
Bruce Lee
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
Life is never stagnation. It is constant movement, un-rhythmic movement, as we as constant change. Things live by moving and gain strength as they go.
Bruce Lee
The stillness in stillness is not the real stillness only when there is stillness in movement does the universal rhythm manifest.
Bruce Lee
The aim of art is to project an inner vision into the world.
Bruce Lee
Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety in that state of mind, there is perception.
Bruce Lee
Learn the principle, abide by the principle, and dissolve the principle. In short, enter a mold without being caged in it. Obey the principle without being bound by it. Learn, master, and achieve.
Bruce Lee
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
Long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity.
Bruce Lee
Efficiency is anything that scores.
Bruce Lee
The three most difficult things in life are: 1. To keep a secret. 2. To forget an injury. 3. To make good use of leisure.
Bruce Lee
An intelligent mind is an inquiring mind. It is not satisfied with explanation, with conclusions. Nor is it a mind that believes, because belief is again another form of conclusion.
Bruce Lee
Self-Conquest is the greatest of victories. Mighty is he who conquers himself.
Bruce Lee
There are no limits. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.
Bruce Lee
For it is easy to criticize and break down the spirit of others, but to know yourself takes a lifetime.
Bruce Lee
Instead of dedicating your life to actualize a concept of what you should be like, actualize yourself.
Bruce Lee
One must be truthful and honest in his approach a constant independent inquiry and not blindly following a certain blue print laid down by others
Bruce Lee
Truth has no path. Truth is living and, therefore, changing. Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety in that state of mind, there is perception. To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. Awareness has no frontier it is giving of your whole being, without exclusion.
Bruce Lee
Obey the principles without being bound by them.
Bruce Lee
There are too many stars and too few actors.
