More quotes by Bruce Lee
Truth comes when your mind and heart are purged of all sense of striving and you are no longer trying to become somebody it is there when the mind is very quiet, listening timelessly to everything.
Bruce Lee
Stop wasting time in playing a role or a concept. Instead, learn to ACTUALIZE YOURSELF, your potential.
Bruce Lee
Unfortunately, now in boxing people are only allowed to punch. In Judo, people are only allowed to throw. I do not despise these kinds of martial arts. What I mean is, we now find rigid forms which create differences among clans, and the world of martial art is shattered as a result.
Bruce Lee
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
One does not accumulate but eliminate. It is not daily increase but daily decrease. The height of cultivation always runs to simplicity.
Bruce Lee
Out of chaos, find simplicity, From discord, find harmony.
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
When you're talking about fighting, as it is, with no rules, well then, baby you'd better train every part of your body!
Bruce Lee
Through my own observations. I am convinced that an absolutely honest and direct inquiry into oneself will lead to understanding.
Bruce Lee
The more relaxed the muscles are, the more energy can flow through the body. Using muscular tensions to try to 'do' the punch or attempting to use brute force to knock someone over will only work to opposite effect.
Bruce Lee
Boards don't hit back.
Bruce Lee
Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose - to accept defeat. To learn to die is to be liberated from it. So when tomorrow comes you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying!
Bruce Lee
In order to realize our true self we must be willing to live without being dependent upon the opinion of others.
Bruce Lee
Recognizing that the power of will is the supreme court over all other departments of my mind, I will exercise daily when I need the urge to act for any purpose and I will form habits designed to bring the power of my will into action at least once daily.
Bruce Lee
Remember no man is really defeated unless he is discouraged.
Bruce Lee
The best fighter is not a Boxer, Karate or Judo man. The best fighter is someone who can adapt on any style. He kicks too good for a Boxer, throws too good for a Karate man, and punches too good for a Judo man.
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
Emptiness the starting point. — In order to taste my cup of water you must first empty your cup. My friend, drop all your preconceived and fixed ideas and be neutral. Do you know why this cup is useful? Because it is empty.
Bruce Lee
Seek freedom from the conformity of styles
Bruce Lee
If there is a God, he is within. You don't ask God to give you things, you depend on God for your inner theme.
