Quote

You will never learn anything new unless you are ready to accept yourself with your limitations. You must accept the fact that you are capable in some directions and limited in others, and you must develop your capabilities.

Image
The Now is indivisible. Completeness, the now, is an absence of the conscious mind to strive to divide that which is indivisible. For once the completeness of things is taken apart it is no longer complete.
Bruce Lee
Image
You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup.
Bruce Lee
Image
A kung fu man lives without being dependant on the opinions of others, and a master, unlike the beginner, holds himself in reserve. He is quiet and unassuming, with no desire to show off.
Bruce Lee
Image
Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety in that state of mind, there is perception.
Bruce Lee
Image
The martial arts are based upon understanding, hard work and a total comprehension of skills. Power training and the use of force are easy, but total comprehension of all of the skills of the martial arts is very difficult to achieve.
Bruce Lee

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
When we hold to the core, the opposite sides are the same if they are seen from the center of the moving circle. I do not experience I am experience. I am not the subject of experience I am that experience. I am awareness. Nothing else can be I or can exist.
Bruce Lee
Image
The past is an illusion. You must learn to live in the present and accept yourself for what you are now. What you lack in flexibility and agility you must make up with knowledge and constant practice.
Bruce Lee
Image
We have great work ahead of us, and it needs devotion and much, much energy. To grow, to discover, we need involvement, which is something I experience every day - sometimes good, sometimes frustrating. No matter what, you must let your inner light guide you out of the darkness.
Bruce Lee
Image
You must accept the fact that there is no help but self-help. I cannot tell you how to gain freedom since freedom exists within you.
Bruce Lee
Image
We shall find the answer when we examine the problem, the problem is never apart from the answer, the problem IS the answer, understanding the problem dissolves the problem.
Bruce Lee
Image
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.

True refinement seeks simplicity.

The unconditioned mind intuits truth.

When you're talking about fighting, as it is, with no rules, well then, baby you'd better train every part of your body!

What comes after victory? Why do people value victory so much? What is 'glory'? What kind of victory is 'glorious'?

Real living is living for others.

Before me now there is only one real fact -- Death. The truth I have been seeking -- this truth is Death. Yet Death is also a seeker. Forever seeking me. So -- we have met at last. And I am prepared. I am at peace. Because I will conquer death with death.

Unfortunately, now in boxing people are only allowed to punch. In Judo, people are only allowed to throw. I do not despise these kinds of martial arts. What I mean is, we now find rigid forms which create differences among clans, and the world of martial art is shattered as a result.
