More quotes by 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
Bring the mind into sharp focus and make it alert so that it can immediately intuit truth, which is everywhere. The mind must be emancipated from old habits, prejudices, restrictive thought processes and even ordinary thought itself.
Bruce Lee
Image
The perfect way is only difficult for those who pick and choose. Do not like, do not dislike all will then be clear. Make a hairbreadth difference and heaven and earth are set apart if you want the truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against. The struggle between 'for' and 'against' is the mind's worst disease.
Bruce Lee
Image
Give recognition where it is due. Compliments stimulate more effort and desire to improve. Be generous with honest praising.
Bruce Lee
Image
There are too many stars and too few actors.
Bruce Lee
Image
You must accept the fact that there is no help but self-help. I cannot tell you how to gain freedom since freedom exists within you.
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.

Image
Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there.
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
Zen is not “attained” by mirror-wiping mediation, but by “self-forgetfulness in the existential 'present' of life here and now.” We do not “come”, we “are.” Don't strive to become, but be.
Bruce Lee
Image
Use karate, judo, aikido, or any style to build your counter-offensive. It will be interesting!
Bruce Lee
Image
Not being tense but ready. Not thinking but not dreaming. Not being set but flexible. Liberation from the uneasy sense of confinement. It is being wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come.
Bruce Lee
Image
True refinement seeks simplicity.
Bruce Lee
Image
Jeet Kune Do favors formlessness so that it can assume all forms and since Jeet Kune Do has no style, it can fit in with all styles. As a result, Jeet Kune Do utilizes all ways and is bound by none and, likewise, uses any techniques which serve its end.

Image
Maturation is the development from environmental support to self-support.
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 and your opponent are one. There is a coexisting relationship between you. You coexist with your opponent and become his complement, absorbing his attack and using his force to overcome him.
Bruce Lee
Image
Everyone wants to learn how to win, but no one wants to learn how to accept defeat.
Bruce Lee
Image
Cease negative mental chattering. If you think a thing is impossible, you'll make it impossible. Pessimism blunts the tools you need to succeed.
Bruce Lee
Image
One should be in harmony with, not in opposition to, the strength and force of the opposition. This means that one should do nothing that is not natural or spontaneous the important thing is not to strain in any way.
