More quotes by Bruce Lee

Image
If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo.
Bruce Lee
Image
One will never get any more than he thinks he can get. YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES. Look back and see your progress - damn the torpedo, full speed ahead!
Bruce Lee
Image
Love is like a friendship caught on fire.
Bruce Lee
Image
Understanding requires not just a moment of perception, but a continuous awareness, a continuous state of inquiry without conclusion
Bruce Lee
Image
All goals apart from the means are illusions becoming is a denial of being.
Bruce Lee
Image
Be a calm beholder of what is happening around you.
Bruce Lee
Image
To be honest to oneself, and that is very hard to do.
Bruce Lee
Image
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
Image
The best fighter is not a Boxer, Karate or Judo man. The best fighter is someone who can adapt on any style. He kicks too good for a Boxer, throws too good for a Karate man, and punches too good for a Judo man.
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
Give up thinking as though not giving it up. Observe techniques as though not observing.
Bruce Lee
Image
It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.
Bruce Lee
Image
I'm moving and not moving at all. I'm like the moon underneath the waves that ever go on rolling and rocking. It is not, I am doing this, but rather, an inner realization that this is happening through me, or it is doing this for me. The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.
Bruce Lee
Image
The core of understanding lies in the individual mind, and until that is touched everything is uncertain and superficial. Truth cannot be perceived until we come to fully understand our potential and ourselves. After all, knowledge in the martial arts ultimately means self-knowledge.
Bruce Lee
Image
Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there.
Bruce Lee
Image
Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety in that state of mind, there is perception.
Bruce Lee
Image
Before me now there is only one real fact -- Death. The truth I have been seeking -- this truth is Death. Yet Death is also a seeker. Forever seeking me. So -- we have met at last. And I am prepared. I am at peace. Because I will conquer death with death.
Bruce Lee
Image
One must be truthful and honest in his approach a constant independent inquiry and not blindly following a certain blue print laid down by others
Bruce Lee
Image
My strength comes from my abdomen. It's the center of gravity and the source of real power.

Be self aware, rather than a repetitious robot
