More quotes by Bruce Lee
The knowledge and skills you have achieved are meant to be forgotten so you can float comfortably in emptiness, without obstruction.
Bruce Lee
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
Bruce Lee
What comes after victory? Why do people value victory so much? What is 'glory'? What kind of victory is 'glorious'?
Bruce Lee
The possession of anything begins in the mind.
Bruce Lee
A kung fu man lives without being dependant on the opinions of others, and a master, unlike the beginner, holds himself in reserve. He is quiet and unassuming, with no desire to show off.
Bruce Lee
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
The reward is found in the work.
Bruce Lee
Once I slow down because I think I have reached my peak, then my skills will go nowhere but down
Bruce Lee
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
Everybody has to think for himself. A right way for a big man may not be a right way for a small man. A right way for someone who is slow may not be a right way for someone who is quick. Each person must understand his weaknesses and his strengths.
Bruce Lee
The core of understanding lies in the individual mind, and until that is touched everything is uncertain and superficial. Truth cannot be perceived until we come to fully understand our potential and ourselves. After all, knowledge in the martial arts ultimately means self-knowledge.
Bruce Lee
when one is not expressing himself, he is not free. thus, he begins to struggle and the struggle breeds methodical routine. Soon, he is doing his methodical routine as response rather than responding to what is.
Bruce Lee
Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety in that state of mind, there is perception.
Bruce Lee
You will never get any more out of this life than you expect.
Bruce Lee
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
In combat, spontaneity rules rote performance of technique perishes.
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.
Bruce Lee
'What is' is more important than 'what should be.' Too many people are looking at 'what is' from a position of thinking 'what should be'.
Bruce Lee
Out of chaos, find simplicity, From discord, find harmony.
Bruce Lee
An instructor should exemplify the things he seeks to teach. It will be of great advantage if you yourself can do all you ask of your students and more.
Bruce Lee
