What Is, is more important than What Should Be.
Bruce Lee
Image
I'm not a master. I'm a student-master, meaning that I have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but I'm still learning. So I'm a student-master. I don't believe in the word 'master.' I consider the master as such when they close the casket.
Bruce Lee
Image
He who wants to succeed should learn how to fight, to strive and to suffer. You can acquire a lot in life, if you are prepared to give up a lot to get it.
Bruce Lee
Image
The reward is found in the work.
Bruce Lee

People fear what they do not understand.
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
Training for strength and flexibility is a must. You must use it to support your techniques. Techniques alone are no good if you don't support them with strength and flexibility.
Bruce Lee
Image
Prosperity is apt to prevent us from examining our conduct but adversity leads us to think properly of our state, and so is beneficial to us.
Bruce Lee
Image
Art requires imagination. It requires Creativity. Creativity requires experience and experience comes from your life. And your life is expressed in your art.
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
Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.
Bruce Lee
Image
To be honest to oneself, and that is very hard to do.
Bruce Lee
Image
Efficiency is anything that scores.
Bruce Lee

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