Quote

Having totality means being capable of following what is, because what is is constantly moving and constantly changing. If one is anchored to a particular view, one will not be able to follow the swift movement of what is.

Understand your limitations and capitalize on them.
Bruce Lee
Image
You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup.
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
People fear what they do not understand.
Bruce Lee
Image
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
Bruce Lee
Image
The aim of art is to project an inner vision into the world, to state in aesthetic creation the deepest psychic and personal experiences of a human being. It is to enable those experiences to be intelligible and generally recognized within the total framework of an ideal world.
Bruce Lee
Image
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
Image
The doubters said, Man can not fly, The doers said, Maybe, but we'll try, And finally soared In the morning glow While non-believers Watched from below.

Put every great teacher in a room, and they'd agree about everything, but put their disciples in there and they'd argue about everything.
Bruce Lee
Image
Training is one of the most neglected phases of athletics. Too much time is given to the development of skill and too little to the development of the individual for participation.
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
Never waste energy on worries or negative thoughts, all problems are brought into existence -drop them.
Bruce Lee
Image
One rule is to not use complicated techniques unless they are necessary to achieve your goal. First, use simple movements, and if they don't work, then introduce the more complex ones.
Bruce Lee
Image
Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there.
Bruce Lee
Image
But to those who kept saying It can't be done, Never are the victories Or the honors won. But, rather, By the believing, doing kind, While the doubters Watched from far behind.
Bruce Lee
Image
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.

Boards don't hit back.
Bruce Lee
Image
My strength comes from my abdomen. It's the center of gravity and the source of real power.

Low aim, not failure, is the crime.
