More quotes by Bruce Lee

Image
A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit, it hits all by itself.
Bruce Lee
Image
Zen is not “attained” by mirror-wiping mediation, but by “self-forgetfulness in the existential 'present' of life here and now.” We do not “come”, we “are.” Don't strive to become, but be.
Bruce Lee
Image
Meditation means to be free from all phenomena and calmness means to be internally unperturbed. There will be calmness when one is free from external objects and is not perturbed.
Bruce Lee
Image
I refer to my hands, feet and body as the tools of the trade. The hands and feet must be sharpened and improved daily to be efficient.

Art is never decoration, embellishment instead, it is work of enlightenment. Art, in other words, is a technique for acquiring liberty.
Bruce Lee

A good teacher protects his pupils from his own influence.

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
It is useless to try to stir the dirt Out of the muddy water, As it will become murkier. But leave it alone, And if it should be cleared It will become clear by itself.
Bruce Lee
Image
Art lives where absolute freedom is, because where it is not, there can be no creativity.
Bruce Lee
Image
Because one does not want to be disturbed, to be made uncertain, he establishes a pattern of conduct, of thought, a pattern of relationships to man. He then becomes a slave to the pattern and takes the pattern to be the real thing.
Bruce Lee
Image
What comes after victory? Why do people value victory so much? What is 'glory'? What kind of victory is 'glorious'?
Bruce Lee
Image
To reach me, you must move to me. Your attack offers me an opportunity to intercept you.
Bruce Lee
Image
The knowledge and skills you have achieved are meant to be forgotten so you can float comfortably in emptiness, without obstruction.
Bruce Lee
Image
If one loves, one need not have an ideology of love.
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
A quality martial artist is always ready for any move, and trains oneself invincible.
