Bruce Lee

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

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

Bruce Lee
Long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity.
Bruce Lee
Concentration is the root of all the higher abilities in man.
Bruce Lee
If you want to do your duty properly, you should do just a little more than that.
Bruce Lee
To realize freedom the mind has to learn to look at life, which is a vast movement, without the bondage of time , for freedom lies beyond the field of consciousness care for watching, but don't stop and interpret I am free, then you're living in a memory of something that has gone before.
Bruce Lee
The meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a patter of systems.
Bruce Lee
Now I see that I will never find the light Unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, Consuming myself.
Bruce Lee
Satori - in the awakening from a dream. Awakening and self-realization and seeing into one's own being - these are synonymous.
