Instead of dedicating your life to actualize a concept of what you should be like, actualize yourself.
Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee
Image
Give up thinking as though not giving it up. Observe techniques as though not observing.
Bruce Lee
Image
Learning is never cumulative, it is a movement of knowing which has no beginning and no end.
Bruce Lee
Image
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
Image
Reality is apparent when one ceases to compare.
Bruce Lee
Image
Bring the mind to a sharp focus and make it alert so that it can immediately intuit truth, which is everywhere.
Bruce Lee
Image
If you want to learn to swim you have to throw yourself in the water.
Bruce Lee
Image
Truth has no path. Truth is living and, therefore, changing. Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety in that state of mind, there is perception. To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. Awareness has no frontier it is giving of your whole being, without exclusion.

Concentration is the root of all the higher abilities in man.
