The happiness that is derived from excitement is like a brilliant fire- soon it will go out.
Bruce Lee
Image
If you don't want to slip up tomorrow, speak the truth today.
Bruce Lee
Image
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.
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
The stillness in stillness is not the real stillness only when there is stillness in movement does the universal rhythm manifest.
Bruce Lee

Learning is never cumulative, it is a movement of knowing which has no beginning and no end.
Bruce Lee

Knowledge earns you power, character earns you respect.
Bruce Lee

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 nature take its course and your tools will strike at the right moment.
Bruce Lee
Image
Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.
Bruce Lee
Image
To me defeat in anything is merely temporary. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing it is a path leading to success and truth.
Bruce Lee
Image
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
Bruce Lee
Image
Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
Bruce Lee
Image
Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
Bruce Lee
Image
All knowledge leads to self-knowledge.
Bruce Lee
Image
Through my own observations. I am convinced that an absolutely honest and direct inquiry into oneself will lead to understanding.
Bruce Lee
Image
If every man would help his neighbor, no man would be without help.
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
I'm moving and not moving at all. I'm like the moon underneath the waves that ever go on rolling and rocking. It is not, I am doing this, but rather, an inner realization that this is happening through me, or it is doing this for me. The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.
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.
