More quotes by Bruce Lee
Recognizing that the power of will is the supreme court over all other departments of my mind, I will exercise daily when I need the urge to act for any purpose and I will form habits designed to bring the power of my will into action at least once daily.
Bruce Lee
You know what I want to think of myself? As a human being. Because, I mean I don't want to be like As Confucius say, but under the sky, under the heavens there is but one family. It just so happens man that people are different.
Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee
Let nature take its course and your tools will strike at the right moment.
Bruce Lee
There are no limits. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.
Bruce Lee
To take responsibility for one's own actions, good and bad, is something else.
Bruce Lee
Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.
Bruce Lee
It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.
Bruce Lee
I'm not a master. I'm a student-master, meaning that I have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but I'm still learning. So I'm a student-master. I don't believe in the word 'master.' I consider the master as such when they close the casket.
Bruce Lee
The future looks extremely bright indeed, with lots of possibilities ahead -- big possibilities. Like the song says, We've just begun.
Bruce Lee
Everyone wants to learn how to win, but no one wants to learn how to accept defeat.
Bruce Lee
Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one's potential.
Bruce Lee
The knowledge and skills you have achieved are meant to be forgotten so you can float comfortably in emptiness, without obstruction.
