More quotes by Bruce Lee
Understand your limitations and capitalize on them.
Bruce Lee
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
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
One will never get any more than he thinks he can get. YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES. Look back and see your progress - damn the torpedo, full speed ahead!
Bruce Lee
Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there.
Bruce Lee
Once I slow down because I think I have reached my peak, then my skills will go nowhere but down
Bruce Lee
What we are after is the root and not the branches. The root is the real knowledge the branches are surface knowledge. Real knowledge breeds 'body feel' and personal expression surface knowledge breeds mechanical conditioning and imposing limitation and squelches creativity.
Bruce Lee
A quality martial artist is always ready for any move, and trains oneself invincible.
Bruce Lee
Preparation for tomorrow is hard work today.
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
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.
Bruce Lee
The aim of art is to project an inner vision into the world, to state in aesthetic creation the deepest psychic and personal experiences of a human being. It is to enable those experiences to be intelligible and generally recognized within the total framework of an ideal world.
Bruce Lee
Learn the principle, abide by the principle, and dissolve the principle. In short, enter a mold without being caged in it. Obey the principle without being bound by it. Learn, master, and achieve.
Bruce Lee
Sorrows are our best educator. A man can see further through a tear than a telescope.
Bruce Lee
If you make an ass out of yourself, there will always be someone to ride you.
Bruce Lee
Art is the way to the absolute and to the essence of human life. The aim of art is not the one-sided promotion of spirit, soul and senses, but the opening of all human capacities – thought, feeling, will – to the life rhythm of the world of nature. So will the voiceless voice be heard and the self be brought into harmony with it.
Bruce Lee
For something that is static, fixed, dead, there can be a way or a definite path but not for anything that is moving and living.
Bruce Lee
The idea is that flowing water never goes stale, so just keep on flowing.
Bruce Lee
All martial art is simply an honest expression of one's body — with a lot of deception in between.
Bruce Lee
Training for strength and flexibility is a must. You must use it to support your techniques. Techniques alone are no good if you don't support them with strength and flexibility.
Bruce Lee
