More quotes by Bruce Lee
The happiness that is derived from excitement is like a brilliant fire- soon it will go out.
Bruce Lee
Conditioning obstructs our view of reality. We do not see IT in its suchness because of our indoctrination, crooked and twisted.
Bruce Lee
For something that is static, fixed, dead, there can be a way or a definite path but not for anything that is moving and living.
Bruce Lee
The reward is found in the work.
Bruce Lee
I am not afraid of a person who knows 10000 kicks. But I am afraid of a person who knows one kick but practices it for 10000 times.
Bruce Lee
Be a calm beholder of what is happening around you.
Bruce Lee
Maturation is the development from environmental support to self-support.
Bruce Lee
Either push your limits or die.
Bruce Lee
The core of understanding lies in the individual mind, and until that is touched everything is uncertain and superficial. Truth cannot be perceived until we come to fully understand our potential and ourselves. After all, knowledge in the martial arts ultimately means self-knowledge.
Bruce Lee
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
Out of chaos, find simplicity, From discord, find harmony.
Bruce Lee
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
Art lives where absolute freedom is, because where it is not, there can be no creativity.
Bruce Lee
Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
Bruce Lee
Use karate, judo, aikido, or any style to build your counter-offensive. It will be interesting!
Bruce Lee
Jeet Kune Do favors formlessness so that it can assume all forms and since Jeet Kune Do has no style, it can fit in with all styles. As a result, Jeet Kune Do utilizes all ways and is bound by none and, likewise, uses any techniques which serve its end.
Bruce Lee
Willing is not enough, one must apply.
Bruce Lee
A quality martial artist is always ready for any move, and trains oneself invincible.
Bruce Lee
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
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
