More quotes by Bruce Lee
Boards don't hit back.
Bruce Lee
A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit, it hits all by itself.
Bruce Lee
To me, ultimately, martial arts means honestly expressing yourself.
Bruce Lee
As you think, you shall become
Bruce Lee
To me, the extraordinary aspect of martial arts lies in its simplicity. The easy way is also the right way, and martial arts is nothing at all special the closer to the true way of martial arts, the less wastage of expression there is.
Bruce Lee
Everybody has to think for himself. A right way for a big man may not be a right way for a small man. A right way for someone who is slow may not be a right way for someone who is quick. Each person must understand his weaknesses and his strengths.
Bruce Lee
Give up thinking as though not giving it up. Observe techniques as though not observing.
Bruce Lee
The height of cultivation always runs to simplicity.
Bruce Lee
Truth has no path. Truth is living and, therefore, changing. Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety in that state of mind, there is perception. To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. Awareness has no frontier it is giving of your whole being, without exclusion.
Bruce Lee
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
Here I am as a human being...how can I express myself, totally and completely?
Bruce Lee
I refer to my hands, feet and body as the tools of the trade. The hands and feet must be sharpened and improved daily to be efficient.
Bruce Lee
Having totality means being capable of following what is, because what is is constantly moving and constantly changing. If one is anchored to a particular view, one will not be able to follow the swift movement of what is.
Bruce Lee
Art requires imagination. It requires Creativity. Creativity requires experience and experience comes from your life. And your life is expressed in your art.
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
Everything you do, if not in a relaxed state will be done at a lesser level than you are proficient. Thus the tensed expert marksman will aim at a level less than his/her student.
Bruce Lee
Life is wide, limitless. There is no border, no frontier.
Bruce Lee
Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one's potential.
Bruce Lee
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
Anxiety is the gap between the NOW and the THEN. So if you are in the NOW, you can't be anxious, because your excitement flows immediately into ongoing spontaneous activity.
