There’s only one basic principle of self-defense- you must apply the most effective weapon, as soon as possible, to the most vulnerable target.
Bruce Lee
Image
Voidness is that which stands right in the middle between this and that. The void is all-inclusive, having no opposite--there is nothing which it excludes or opposes. It is living void, because all forms come out of it and whoever realizes the void is filled with life and power and the love of all beings.
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

Stop wasting time in playing a role or a concept. Instead, learn to ACTUALIZE YOURSELF, your potential.
Bruce Lee
Image
A self-willed man obeys a different law, the one law I, too, hold absolutely sacred the human law in himself, his own individual will.
Bruce Lee
Image
Unfortunately, now in boxing people are only allowed to punch. In Judo, people are only allowed to throw. I do not despise these kinds of martial arts. What I mean is, we now find rigid forms which create differences among clans, and the world of martial art is shattered as a result.

For it is easy to criticize and break down the spirit of others, but to know yourself takes a lifetime.
Bruce Lee
Image
Do not run away let go. Do not seek for it will come when least expected.

Running water never grows stale.
Bruce Lee
Image
With every adversity comes a blessing because a shock acts as a reminder to oneself that we must not get stale in routine.
Bruce Lee
Image
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Bruce Lee
Image
Be like water, my friend.
Bruce Lee
Image
The best fighter is not a Boxer, Karate or Judo man. The best fighter is someone who can adapt on any style. He kicks too good for a Boxer, throws too good for a Karate man, and punches too good for a Judo man.
Bruce Lee
Image
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
Image
The Now is indivisible. Completeness, the now, is an absence of the conscious mind to strive to divide that which is indivisible. For once the completeness of things is taken apart it is no longer complete.
Bruce Lee
Image
To be honest to oneself, and that is very hard to do.
Bruce Lee
Image
Obey the principles without being bound by them.
