Real living is living for others.
Bruce Lee

It is not a shame to be knocked down by other people. The important thing is to ask when you're being knocked down, 'Why am I being knocked down?' If a person can reflect in this way, then there is hope for this person.

When you freely express, you are the total style.

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
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
Image
To tolerate is to insult.

Be like water, my friend.
Bruce Lee

What is true stillness? Stillness in movement.
Bruce Lee
Image
Once I slow down because I think I have reached my peak, then my skills will go nowhere but down

Be self aware, rather than a repetitious robot
