More quotes by Bruce Lee
Give up thinking as though not giving it up. Observe techniques as though not observing.
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
Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety in that state of mind, there is perception.
Bruce Lee
It is true that the mental aspect of kung-fu is the desired end however, to achieve this end, technical skill must come first.
Bruce Lee
The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.
Bruce Lee
Training is one of the most neglected phases of athletics. Too much time is given to the development of skill and too little to the development of the individual for participation.
Bruce Lee
The principle of martial arts is not a thing that can be learned, like a science, by fact-finding and instruction in facts. It has to grow spontaneously, like a flower, in a mind free from emotions and desires.
Bruce Lee
The measure of the moral worth of a man is his happiness. The better the man, the more happiness. Happiness is the synonym of well-being
Bruce Lee
Learning is definitely not mere imitation, nor is it the ability to accumulate and regurgitate fixed knowledge. Learning is a constant process of discovery - a process without end.
Bruce Lee
To me defeat in anything is merely temporary. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing it is a path leading to success and truth.
Bruce Lee
Evaluation by others is not a guide for me.
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
What is true stillness? Stillness in movement.
Bruce Lee
Art reaches its greatest peak when devoid of self-consciousness. Freedom discovers man the moment he loses concern over what impression he is making or about to make.
Bruce Lee
Put every great teacher in a room, and they'd agree about everything, but put their disciples in there and they'd argue about everything.
Bruce Lee
To understand your fear is the beginning of really seeing.
Bruce Lee
All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.
Bruce Lee
To me, ultimately, martial arts means honestly expressing yourself.
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
A quality martial artist is always ready for any move, and trains oneself invincible.
