More quotes by Bruce Lee

Image
A man must constantly exceed his level
Bruce Lee
Image
Having totality means being capable of following what is, because what is is constantly moving and constantly changing. If one is anchored to a particular view, one will not be able to follow the swift movement of what is.
Bruce Lee
Image
If you want to learn to swim you have to throw yourself in the water.
Bruce Lee
Image
Taoist philosophy is essentially monistic. Matter and energy, Yang and Yin, heaven and earth, are conceived of as essentially one or as two coexistent poles of one indivisible whole.
Bruce Lee
Image
With every adversity comes a blessing because a shock acts as a reminder to oneself that we must not get stale in routine.
Bruce Lee
Image
The more relaxed the muscles are, the more energy can flow through the body. Using muscular tensions to try to 'do' the punch or attempting to use brute force to knock someone over will only work to opposite effect.
Bruce Lee
Image
'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
Image
Belts are only good for holding up your pants
Bruce Lee
Image
When we hold to the core, the opposite sides are the same if they are seen from the center of the moving circle. I do not experience I am experience. I am not the subject of experience I am that experience. I am awareness. Nothing else can be I or can exist.
Bruce Lee
Image
Genius: The capacity to see and to express what is simple, simply!
Bruce Lee
Image
Where there is no style, there is no slave. Martial Arts mean honestly expressing yourself. No style. No slave.
Bruce Lee
Image
Evaluation by others is not a guide for me.
Bruce Lee
Image
The aim of art is to project an inner vision into the world.
Bruce Lee
Image
In combat, spontaneity rules rote performance of technique perishes.
Bruce Lee
Image
The knowledge and skills you have achieved are meant to be forgotten so you can float comfortably in emptiness, without obstruction.
Bruce Lee
Image
Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
Bruce Lee
Image
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
Image
Endurance is lost rapidly if one ceases to work at its maximum.
Bruce Lee
Image
Remember, Life is a journey, not a destination.
Bruce Lee
Image
The athlete who is building muscles though weight training should be very sure to work adequately on speed and flexibility at the same time. In combat, without the prior attributes, a strong man will be like the bull with its colossal strength futilely pursuing the matador or like a low-geared truck chasing a rabbit.
