More quotes by Bruce Lee

Image
The athlete who is building muscles though weight training should be very sure to work adequately on speed and flexibility at the same time. In combat, without the prior attributes, a strong man will be like the bull with its colossal strength futilely pursuing the matador or like a low-geared truck chasing a rabbit.
Bruce Lee
Image
All martial art is simply an honest expression of one's body — with a lot of deception in between.
Bruce Lee
Image
There’s only one basic principle of self-defense- you must apply the most effective weapon, as soon as possible, to the most vulnerable target.

Taoist philosophy is essentially monistic. Matter and energy, Yang and Yin, heaven and earth, are conceived of as essentially one or as two coexistent poles of one indivisible whole.

The possession of anything begins in the mind.

Give up thinking as though not giving it up. Observe techniques as though not observing.

Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Bruce Lee

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
Defeat is a state of mind no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.
Bruce Lee
Image
But to those who kept saying It can't be done, Never are the victories Or the honors won. But, rather, By the believing, doing kind, While the doubters Watched from far behind.
Bruce Lee
Image
Art requires imagination. It requires Creativity. Creativity requires experience and experience comes from your life. And your life is expressed in your art.

We do not become. We simply are.

In order to taste my cup of water you must first empty your cup.
Bruce Lee
Image
I'm not a master. I'm a student-master, meaning that I have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but I'm still learning. So I'm a student-master. I don't believe in the word 'master.' I consider the master as such when they close the casket.

My strength comes from my abdomen. It's the center of gravity and the source of real power.
