More quotes by Bruce Lee

Image
Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.
Bruce Lee
Image
One should be in harmony with, not in opposition to, the strength and force of the opposition. This means that one should do nothing that is not natural or spontaneous the important thing is not to strain in any way.
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
Art is the way to the absolute and to the essence of human life. The aim of art is not the one-sided promotion of spirit, soul and senses, but the opening of all human capacities – thought, feeling, will – to the life rhythm of the world of nature. So will the voiceless voice be heard and the self be brought into harmony with it.
Bruce Lee
Image
Taoist philosophy is essentially monistic. Matter and energy, Yang and Yin, heaven and earth, are conceived of as essentially one or as two coexistent poles of one indivisible whole.
Bruce Lee
Image
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
Image
Obey the principles without being bound by them.
Bruce Lee
Image
When you say that something is impossible, you have made it impossible.
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
Truth comes when your mind and heart are purged of all sense of striving and you are no longer trying to become somebody it is there when the mind is very quiet, listening timelessly to everything.
Bruce Lee
Image
Defeat is a state of mind no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.
Bruce Lee
Image
Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.
Bruce Lee
Image
It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.
Bruce Lee
Image
With every adversity comes a blessing because a shock acts as a reminder to oneself that we must not get stale in routine.
Bruce Lee
Image
Cease negative mental chattering. If you think a thing is impossible, you'll make it impossible. Pessimism blunts the tools you need to succeed.
Bruce Lee
Image
Take what's useful, discard what is not.
Bruce Lee
Image
Now I see that I will never find the light Unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, Consuming myself.
Bruce Lee
Image
We shall find the answer when we examine the problem, the problem is never apart from the answer, the problem IS the answer, understanding the problem dissolves the problem.
Bruce Lee
Image
You will never get any more out of this life than you expect.
Bruce Lee
Image
Either push your limits or die.
