More quotes by 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
Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own.
Bruce Lee
We [tend to] have more faith in what we imitate than in what we originate. We [often feel that we] cannot derive a sense of absolute certitude from anything which has its root in us. The most poignant sense of insecurity comes from standing alone we are not alone when we imitate.
Bruce Lee
Independent inquiry is needed in your search for truth, not dependence on anyone else's view or a mere book.
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
When you feel pain, you know that you are still alive.
Bruce Lee
If you follow the classical pattern, you are understanding the routine, the tradition, the shadow -- you are not understanding yourself.
Bruce Lee
Preparation for tomorrow is hard work today.
Bruce Lee
A martial artist has to take responsibility for himself and accept the consequences of his own doing.
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
In order to realize our true self we must be willing to live without being dependent upon the opinion of others.
Bruce Lee
The measure of the moral worth of a man is his happiness. The better the man, the more happiness. Happiness is the synonym of well-being
Bruce Lee
Life itself is your teacher, and you are in a state of constant learning.
Bruce Lee
If one loves, one need not have an ideology of love.
Bruce Lee
Effort within the mind further limits the mind, because effort implies struggle towards a goal and when you have a goal, a purpose, an end in view, you have placed a limit on the mind.
Bruce Lee
My strength comes from my abdomen. It's the center of gravity and the source of real power.
Bruce Lee
If you want to learn to swim jump into the water. On dry land no frame of mind is ever going to help you.
Bruce Lee
We have great work ahead of us, and it needs devotion and much, much energy. To grow, to discover, we need involvement, which is something I experience every day - sometimes good, sometimes frustrating. No matter what, you must let your inner light guide you out of the darkness.
Bruce Lee
You must accept the fact that there is no help but self-help. I cannot tell you how to gain freedom since freedom exists within you.
Bruce Lee
Bring the mind to a sharp focus and make it alert so that it can immediately intuit truth, which is everywhere.
Bruce Lee
