Be self aware, rather than a repetitious robot
Bruce Lee
Image
Because of styles people are separated. Research your own experience, absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own.
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
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
Image
Let nature take its course and your tools will strike at the right moment.
Bruce Lee
Image
Remember no man is really defeated unless he is discouraged.
Bruce Lee
Image
The perfect way is only difficult for those who pick and choose. Do not like, do not dislike all will then be clear. Make a hairbreadth difference and heaven and earth are set apart if you want the truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against. The struggle between 'for' and 'against' is the mind's worst disease.
Bruce Lee
Image
Once I slow down because I think I have reached my peak, then my skills will go nowhere but down
Bruce Lee
Image
Put every great teacher in a room, and they'd agree about everything, but put their disciples in there and they'd argue about everything.
Bruce Lee
Image
Art reaches its greatest peak when devoid of self-consciousness. Freedom discovers man the moment he loses concern over what impression he is making or about to make.
Bruce Lee
Image
The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.
Bruce Lee
Image
Circumstances hell! I make circumstances!
Bruce Lee
Image
Every morning like a scholar at his first class I prepare a blank mind for the day to write upon.
Bruce Lee
Image
One must be truthful and honest in his approach a constant independent inquiry and not blindly following a certain blue print laid down by others
Bruce Lee
Image
Bring the mind into sharp focus and make it alert so that it can immediately intuit truth, which is everywhere. The mind must be emancipated from old habits, prejudices, restrictive thought processes and even ordinary thought itself.
Bruce Lee
Image
Give up thinking as though not giving it up. Observe techniques as though not observing.
Bruce Lee
Image
An intelligent mind is an inquiring mind. It is not satisfied with explanation, with conclusions. Nor is it a mind that believes, because belief is again another form of conclusion.
Bruce Lee
Image
You just wait. I'm going to be the biggest Chinese Star in the world.
Bruce Lee
Image
Don’t indulge in any unnecessary, sophisticated moves
Bruce Lee
Image
If there is a God, he is within. You don't ask God to give you things, you depend on God for your inner theme.
