More quotes by Bruce Lee

Image
To me, ultimately, martial arts means honestly expressing yourself.
Bruce Lee
Image
A self-willed man obeys a different law, the one law I, too, hold absolutely sacred the human law in himself, his own individual will.
Bruce Lee
Image
Art is never decoration, embellishment instead, it is work of enlightenment. Art, in other words, is a technique for acquiring liberty.
Bruce Lee
Image
Art reaches its greatest peak when devoid of self-consciousness. Freedom discovers man the moment he loses concern over what impression he is making or about to make.
Bruce Lee
Image
Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
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
Take what's useful, discard what is not.
Bruce Lee
Image
The unfolding of the bare human soul...that is what interests me.
Bruce Lee
Image
You will never learn anything new unless you are ready to accept yourself with your limitations. You must accept the fact that you are capable in some directions and limited in others, and you must develop your capabilities.
Bruce Lee
Image
The measure of the moral worth of a man is his happiness. The better the man, the more happiness. Happiness is the synonym of well-being
Bruce Lee
Image
The happiness that is derived from excitement is like a brilliant fire- soon it will go out.
Bruce Lee
Image
Observe what is with undivided awareness.
Bruce Lee
Image
The best fighter is not a Boxer, Karate or Judo man. The best fighter is someone who can adapt on any style. He kicks too good for a Boxer, throws too good for a Karate man, and punches too good for a Judo man.
Bruce Lee
Image
To take responsibility for one's own actions, good and bad, is something else.
Bruce Lee
Image
Nothingness cannot be defined the softest thing cannot be snapped.
Bruce Lee
Image
He who wants to succeed should learn how to fight, to strive and to suffer. You can acquire a lot in life, if you are prepared to give up a lot to get it.
Bruce Lee
Image
We [tend to] have more faith in what we imitate than in what we originate. We [often feel that we] cannot derive a sense of absolute certitude from anything which has its root in us. The most poignant sense of insecurity comes from standing alone we are not alone when we imitate.
Bruce Lee
Image
Like the cobra, you remain coiled in a loose but compact position and your strike should be felt before it is seen.
Bruce Lee
Image
Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.

A good teacher protects his pupils from his own influence.
