Low aim, not failure, is the crime.
Bruce Lee
Image
Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one
Bruce Lee
Image
When you say that something is impossible, you have made it impossible.
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
Many people dedicate their lives to actualizing a concept of what they should be like, rather than actualizing themselves. This difference between self-actualization and self-image actualization is very important. Most people live only for their image
Bruce Lee
Image
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
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
No matter what, you must let your inner light guide you out of the darkness.
Bruce Lee
Image
False teachers of the Way of life use flowery words.
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
Let the spirit out - Discard all thoughts of reward, all hopes of praise and fears of blame, all awareness of one's bodily self. And, finally closing the avenues of sense perception, let the spirit out, as it will.
Bruce Lee
Image
To me, ultimately, martial arts means honestly expressing yourself.
Bruce Lee
Image
Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own.
Bruce Lee
Image
Nowadays you don't go around on the street kicking people, punching people - because if you do (makes gun shape with hand), well that's it - I don't care how good you are.
Bruce Lee
Image
In Buddhism, there is no place for using effort. Just be ordinary and nothing special. Eat your food, move your bowels, pass water and when you're tired go and lie down. The ignorant will laugh at me, but the wise will understand.
Bruce Lee
Image
Let yourself go with dis-ease, be with it, and keep it company. This is the way to be rid of it.
Bruce Lee
Image
Learning is definitely not mere imitation, nor is it the ability to accumulate and regurgitate fixed knowledge. Learning is a constant process of discovery - a process without end.
Bruce Lee
Image
A man must constantly exceed his level
Bruce Lee

Art is the way to the absolute and to the essence of human life. The aim of art is not the one-sided promotion of spirit, soul and senses, but the opening of all human capacities – thought, feeling, will – to the life rhythm of the world of nature. So will the voiceless voice be heard and the self be brought into harmony with it.

Life is wide, limitless. There is no border, no frontier.
