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
Let nature take its course and your tools will strike at the right moment.
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
To me, ultimately, martial arts means honestly expressing yourself.
Bruce Lee
Image
Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose - to accept defeat. To learn to die is to be liberated from it. So when tomorrow comes you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying!
Bruce Lee
Image
The aim of art is to project an inner vision into the world, to state in aesthetic creation the deepest psychic and personal experiences of a human being. It is to enable those experiences to be intelligible and generally recognized within the total framework of an ideal world.
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
Voidness is that which stands right in the middle between this and that. The void is all-inclusive, having no opposite--there is nothing which it excludes or opposes. It is living void, because all forms come out of it and whoever realizes the void is filled with life and power and the love of all beings.
Bruce Lee
Image
Sorrows are our best educator. A man can see further through a tear than a telescope.
Bruce Lee
Image
Through my own observations. I am convinced that an absolutely honest and direct inquiry into oneself will lead to understanding.
Bruce Lee
Image
The meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a patter of systems.
Bruce Lee
Image
Know the difference between a catastrophe and an inconvenience. - To realize that it's just an inconvenience, that it is not a catastrophe, but just an unpleasantness, is part of coming into your own, part of waking up.
Bruce Lee
Image
Put every great teacher in a room, and they'd agree about everything, but put their disciples in there and they'd argue about everything.
Bruce Lee
Image
Nowadays you don't go around on the street kicking people, punching people - because if you do (makes gun shape with hand), well that's it - I don't care how good you are.
Bruce Lee
Image
Low aim, not failure, is the crime.
Bruce Lee
Image
To take responsibility for one's own actions, good and bad, is something else.
Bruce Lee
Image
Instead of dedicating your life to actualize a concept of what you should be like, actualize yourself.
Bruce Lee
Image
If you want to do your duty properly, you should do just a little more than that.
Bruce Lee
Image
Learn the principle, abide by the principle, and dissolve the principle. In short, enter a mold without being caged in it. Obey the principle without being bound by it. Learn, master, and achieve.
Bruce Lee

Remember, success is a journey not a destination. Have faith in your ability. You will do just fine.
