Quote

Don't be forecasting evil unless it is what you can guard against. Anxiety is good for nothing if we can't turn it into a defense.

Image
Everything you do, if not in a relaxed state will be done at a lesser level than you are proficient. Thus the tensed expert marksman will aim at a level less than his/her student.
Bruce Lee
Image
We do not become. We simply are.
Bruce Lee
Image
Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety in that state of mind, there is perception.
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
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 height of cultivation always runs to simplicity.
Bruce Lee
Image
Learn the principle, abide by the principle, and dissolve the principle. In short, enter a mold without being caged in it. Obey the principle without being bound by it. Learn, master, and achieve.
Bruce Lee
Image
The athlete who is building muscles though weight training should be very sure to work adequately on speed and flexibility at the same time. In combat, without the prior attributes, a strong man will be like the bull with its colossal strength futilely pursuing the matador or like a low-geared truck chasing a rabbit.

Seek freedom from the conformity of styles
Bruce Lee
Image
Relationship is the mirror in which you discover yourself - to be is to be related.
Bruce Lee
Image
To see is to be decieved. To hear is to be lied to. To FEEL is to believe.
Bruce Lee
Image
Where there is no style, there is no slave. Martial Arts mean honestly expressing yourself. No style. No slave.
Bruce Lee
Image
The idea is that flowing water never goes stale, so just keep on flowing.
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

As you think, you shall become
Bruce Lee
Image
Out of chaos, find simplicity, From discord, find harmony.
Bruce Lee
Image
To be honest to oneself, and that is very hard to do.
Bruce Lee
Image
To understand your fear is the beginning of really seeing.
Bruce Lee
Image
Taoist philosophy is essentially monistic. Matter and energy, Yang and Yin, heaven and earth, are conceived of as essentially one or as two coexistent poles of one indivisible whole.
Bruce Lee
Image
The knowledge and skills you have achieved are meant to be forgotten so you can float comfortably in emptiness, without obstruction.
