Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee
We [tend to] have more faith in what we imitate than in what we originate. We [often feel that we] cannot derive a sense of absolute certitude from anything which has its root in us. The most poignant sense of insecurity comes from standing alone we are not alone when we imitate.
Bruce Lee
The future looks extremely bright indeed, with lots of possibilities ahead -- big possibilities. Like the song says, We've just begun.
Bruce Lee
All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.
Bruce Lee
All goals apart from the means are illusions becoming is a denial of being.
Bruce Lee
Choose the positive. You have choice, you are master of your attitude, choose the positive, the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.
Bruce Lee
Let yourself go with dis-ease, be with it, and keep it company. This is the way to be rid of it.
Bruce Lee
You will never get any more out of this life than you expect.
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
