In combat, spontaneity rules rote performance of technique perishes.
Bruce Lee
Image
Conditioning obstructs our view of reality. We do not see IT in its suchness because of our indoctrination, crooked and twisted.
Bruce Lee
Image
To spend time is to pass it in a specified manner. To waste time is to expend it thoughtlessly or carelessly. We all have time to either spend or waste and it is our decision what to do with it. But once passed, it is gone forever.
Bruce Lee
Image
Don't be forecasting evil unless it is what you can guard against. Anxiety is good for nothing if we can't turn it into a defense.
Bruce Lee
Image
Your state of mind is everything.
Bruce Lee
Image
Understand your limitations and capitalize on them.
Bruce Lee
Image
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

Either push your limits or die.
Bruce Lee

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.

Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
Bruce Lee
Image
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
Image
You will never get any more out of this life than you expect.
Bruce Lee
Image
Once I slow down because I think I have reached my peak, then my skills will go nowhere but down
Bruce Lee
Image
Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against.
Bruce Lee
Image
Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.
Bruce Lee
Image
We [tend to] have more faith in what we imitate than in what we originate. We [often feel that we] cannot derive a sense of absolute certitude from anything which has its root in us. The most poignant sense of insecurity comes from standing alone we are not alone when we imitate.
Bruce Lee
Image
The perfect way is only difficult for those who pick and choose. Do not like, do not dislike all will then be clear. Make a hairbreadth difference and heaven and earth are set apart if you want the truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against. The struggle between 'for' and 'against' is the mind's worst disease.
Bruce Lee
Image
In order to realize our true self we must be willing to live without being dependent upon the opinion of others.
Bruce Lee
Image
When you say that something is impossible, you have made it impossible.
Bruce Lee

Evaluation by others is not a guide for me.
