More quotes by Bruce Lee
'What is' is more important than 'what should be.' Too many people are looking at 'what is' from a position of thinking 'what should be'.
Bruce Lee
I hope martial artists are more interested in the root of martial arts and not the different decorative branches, flowers or leaves.
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 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
Time means a lot to me because, you see, I, too, am also a learner and am often lost in the joy of forever developing and simplifying. If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
Bruce Lee
Taoist philosophy is essentially monistic. Matter and energy, Yang and Yin, heaven and earth, are conceived of as essentially one or as two coexistent poles of one indivisible whole.
Bruce Lee
Jeet Kune Do favors formlessness so that it can assume all forms and since Jeet Kune Do has no style, it can fit in with all styles. As a result, Jeet Kune Do utilizes all ways and is bound by none and, likewise, uses any techniques which serve its end.
Bruce Lee
The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has no style at all. He lives only in what is.
Bruce Lee
More and more I believe in the fact that you have two hands and two legs, and the thing is how to make good use of yourself - and that's about it.
Bruce Lee
The aim of art is to project an inner vision into the world.
Bruce Lee
When finger point at moon, don't look at finger or you'll miss the moon.
Bruce Lee
Know the difference between a catastrophe and an inconvenience.
Bruce Lee
When you're talking about fighting, as it is, with no rules, well then, baby you'd better train every part of your body!
Bruce Lee
There are no limits. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.
Bruce Lee
For it is easy to criticize and break down the spirit of others, but to know yourself takes a lifetime.
Bruce Lee
Self-knowledge is the basis of jeet kune do because it is effective not only for the individual's martial art but also for his life as a human being.
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
It's the law of averages: put in more, come out with more.
Bruce Lee
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
Bruce Lee
My strength comes from my abdomen. It's the center of gravity and the source of real power.
Bruce Lee
