Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose - to accept defeat. To learn to die is to be liberated from it. So when tomorrow comes you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying!

More quotes by 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

Bruce Lee
Your state of mind is 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
Out of chaos, find simplicity, From discord, find harmony.

Bruce Lee
Stop wasting time in playing a role or a concept. Instead, learn to ACTUALIZE YOURSELF, your potential.
Bruce Lee
In Buddhism, there is no place for using effort. Just be ordinary and nothing special. Eat your food, move your bowels, pass water and when you're tired go and lie down. The ignorant will laugh at me, but the wise will understand.
Bruce Lee
Don't fear failure. Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.
Bruce Lee
Be a calm beholder of what is happening around you.
Bruce Lee
