More quotes by Bruce Lee
Know the difference between a catastrophe and an inconvenience. - To realize that it's just an inconvenience, that it is not a catastrophe, but just an unpleasantness, is part of coming into your own, part of waking up.
Bruce Lee
You and your opponent are one. There is a coexisting relationship between you. You coexist with your opponent and become his complement, absorbing his attack and using his force to overcome him.
Bruce Lee
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
Nowadays you don't go around on the street kicking people, punching people - because if you do (makes gun shape with hand), well that's it - I don't care how good you are.
Bruce Lee
Satori - in the awakening from a dream. Awakening and self-realization and seeing into one's own being - these are synonymous.
Bruce Lee
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
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
Have no rigid system in you, and you'll be flexible to change with the ever changing.
Bruce Lee
The word superstar is an ilusion
Bruce Lee
The abdominal and waist region coordinate all parts of the body and act as the center or generator. Therefore, you can promote the ability to control the body's action and master your will more easily.
Bruce Lee
Efficiency is anything that scores.
Bruce Lee
A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit, it hits all by itself.
Bruce Lee
What Is, is more important than What Should Be.
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.
Bruce Lee
The aim of art is to project an inner vision into the world.
Bruce Lee
Voidness is that which stands right in the middle between this and that. The void is all-inclusive, having no opposite--there is nothing which it excludes or opposes. It is living void, because all forms come out of it and whoever realizes the void is filled with life and power and the love of all beings.
Bruce Lee
When finger point at moon, don't look at finger or you'll miss the moon.
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
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
Remember, Life is a journey, not a destination.
