More quotes by Bruce Lee
I have always been a martial artist by choice, an actor by profession, but above all, am actualising myself to be an artist of life.
Bruce Lee
The past is an illusion. You must learn to live in the present and accept yourself for what you are now. What you lack in flexibility and agility you must make up with knowledge and constant practice.
Bruce Lee
The principle of martial arts is not a thing that can be learned, like a science, by fact-finding and instruction in facts. It has to grow spontaneously, like a flower, in a mind free from emotions and desires.
Bruce Lee
A kung fu man who was really good was not proud at all. Pride emphasizes the superiority of one's status. There has to be fear and insecurity in pride, because when you aim at being highly esteemed and achieve such status, you automatically start to worry about losing status.
Bruce Lee
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
Never waste energy on worries or negative thoughts, all problems are brought into existence -drop them.
Bruce Lee
Let the spirit out - Discard all thoughts of reward, all hopes of praise and fears of blame, all awareness of one's bodily self. And, finally closing the avenues of sense perception, let the spirit out, as it will.
Bruce Lee
Efficiency is anything that scores.
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
If every man would help his neighbor, no man would be without help.
Bruce Lee
A quality martial artist is always ready for any move, and trains oneself invincible.
Bruce Lee
What comes after victory? Why do people value victory so much? What is 'glory'? What kind of victory is 'glorious'?
Bruce Lee
Obey the principles without being bound by them.
Bruce Lee
He who wants to succeed should learn how to fight, to strive and to suffer. You can acquire a lot in life, if you are prepared to give up a lot to get it.
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
Endurance is lost rapidly if one ceases to work at its maximum.
Bruce Lee
Remember, success is a journey not a destination. Have faith in your ability. You will do just fine.
Bruce Lee
Take what's useful, discard what is not.
Bruce Lee
All knowledge leads to self-knowledge.
Bruce Lee
The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has no style at all. He lives only in what is.
