More quotes by Bruce Lee
Everybody has to think for himself. A right way for a big man may not be a right way for a small man. A right way for someone who is slow may not be a right way for someone who is quick. Each person must understand his weaknesses and his strengths.
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
To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.
Bruce Lee
Learning is definitely not mere imitation, nor is it the ability to accumulate and regurgitate fixed knowledge. Learning is a constant process of discovery - a process without end.
Bruce Lee
To be honest to oneself, and that is very hard to do.
Bruce Lee
When finger point at moon, don't look at finger or you'll miss the moon.
Bruce Lee
The stillness in stillness is not the real stillness only when there is stillness in movement does the universal rhythm manifest.
