More quotes by Bruce Lee
The unfolding of the bare human soul...that is what interests me.
Bruce Lee
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
One rule is to not use complicated techniques unless they are necessary to achieve your goal. First, use simple movements, and if they don't work, then introduce the more complex ones.
Bruce Lee
The stillness in stillness is not the real stillness only when there is stillness in movement does the universal rhythm manifest.
Bruce Lee
If you want to do your duty properly, you should do just a little more than that.
Bruce Lee
Every morning like a scholar at his first class I prepare a blank mind for the day to write upon.
Bruce Lee
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
Bruce Lee
What we are after is the root and not the branches. The root is the real knowledge the branches are surface knowledge. Real knowledge breeds 'body feel' and personal expression surface knowledge breeds mechanical conditioning and imposing limitation and squelches creativity.
Bruce Lee
Remember, success is a journey not a destination. Have faith in your ability. You will do just fine.
Bruce Lee
You will never get any more out of this life than you expect.
Bruce Lee
Learning is never cumulative, it is a movement of knowing which has no beginning and no end.
Bruce Lee
One does not accumulate but eliminate. It is not daily increase but daily decrease. The height of cultivation always runs to simplicity.
Bruce Lee
A kung fu man who was really good was not proud at all. Pride emphasizes the superiority of one's status. There has to be fear and insecurity in pride, because when you aim at being highly esteemed and achieve such status, you automatically start to worry about losing status.
Bruce Lee
I've come to understand that life is best lived, not conceptualized.
Bruce Lee
There are too many stars and too few actors.
Bruce Lee
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
Let yourself go with dis-ease, be with it, and keep it company. This is the way to be rid of it.
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
Faith is a state of mind that can be conditioned through self-discipline. Faith will accomplish.
Bruce Lee
What comes after victory? Why do people value victory so much? What is 'glory'? What kind of victory is 'glorious'?
