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
I hope martial artists are more interested in the root of martial arts and not the different decorative branches, flowers or leaves.
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
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
Image
Have no rigid system in you, and you'll be flexible to change with the ever changing.
Bruce Lee
Image
My strength comes from my abdomen. It's the center of gravity and the source of real power.
