What you habitually think largely determines what you will ultimately become.
Bruce Lee
Image
All goals apart from the means are illusions becoming is a denial of being.
Bruce Lee
Image
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
Image
To me, ultimately, martial arts means honestly expressing yourself.
Bruce Lee
Image
I refer to my hands, feet and body as the tools of the trade. The hands and feet must be sharpened and improved daily to be efficient.
Bruce Lee
Image
The core of understanding lies in the individual mind, and until that is touched everything is uncertain and superficial. Truth cannot be perceived until we come to fully understand our potential and ourselves. After all, knowledge in the martial arts ultimately means self-knowledge.
Bruce Lee
Image
A self-willed man has no other aim than his own growth.
Bruce Lee
Image
False teachers of the Way of life use flowery words.
Bruce Lee
Image
