Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own.
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
Image
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
Image
The unconditioned mind intuits truth.
Bruce Lee
Image
Choose the positive. You have choice, you are master of your attitude, choose the positive, the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.
Bruce Lee
Image
One does not accumulate but eliminate. It is not daily increase but daily decrease. The height of cultivation always runs to simplicity.
Bruce Lee
Image
As long as we separate this oneness into two we won't achieve realization.
Bruce Lee
Image
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
Image
If you don't want to slip up tomorrow, speak the truth today.
Bruce Lee
Image
What comes after victory? Why do people value victory so much? What is 'glory'? What kind of victory is 'glorious'?
Bruce Lee
Image
You and your opponent are one. There is a coexisting relationship between you. You coexist with your opponent and become his complement, absorbing his attack and using his force to overcome him.
Bruce Lee
Image
Never waste energy on worries or negative thoughts, all problems are brought into existence -drop them.
Bruce Lee
