Let nature take its course and your tools will strike at the right moment.
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 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
Don't be forecasting evil unless it is what you can guard against. Anxiety is good for nothing if we can't turn it into a defense.
Bruce Lee
Image
A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
Bruce Lee
Image
You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup.
Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee
Image
Ideas are the beginning of all achievement.

The height of cultivation always runs to simplicity.
Bruce Lee
Image

Bruce Lee
Image
Understand your limitations and capitalize on them.
Bruce Lee
Image
The Now is indivisible. Completeness, the now, is an absence of the conscious mind to strive to divide that which is indivisible. For once the completeness of things is taken apart it is no longer complete.
Bruce Lee
Image
Because of styles people are separated. Research your own experience, absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own.
Bruce Lee
Image
Live a life worth remembering.
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
The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has no style at all. He lives only in what is.
Bruce Lee
Image
He who wants to succeed should learn how to fight, to strive and to suffer. You can acquire a lot in life, if you are prepared to give up a lot to get it.
Bruce Lee
Image
Have no rigid system in you, and you'll be flexible to change with the ever changing.
