More quotes by Bruce Lee

Image
A kung fu man who was really good was not proud at all. Pride emphasizes the superiority of one's status. There has to be fear and insecurity in pride, because when you aim at being highly esteemed and achieve such status, you automatically start to worry about losing status.

Image
Practice all movements slow and fast, soft and hard the effectiveness of Jeet Kune-Do depends on split-second timing and reflexive action, which can be achieved only through repetitious practice.
Bruce Lee
Image
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
Image
The principle of martial arts is not a thing that can be learned, like a science, by fact-finding and instruction in facts. It has to grow spontaneously, like a flower, in a mind free from emotions and desires.
Bruce Lee
Image
You must accept the fact that there is no help but self-help. I cannot tell you how to gain freedom since freedom exists within you.
Bruce Lee
Image
Life is wide, limitless. There is no border, no frontier.
Bruce Lee
Image
Bring the mind to a sharp focus and make it alert so that it can immediately intuit truth, which is everywhere.
Bruce Lee

Take what's useful, discard what is not.
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
Image
Obey the principles without being bound by them.
Bruce Lee
Image
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
Image
One will never get any more than he thinks he can get. YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES. Look back and see your progress - damn the torpedo, full speed ahead!
Bruce Lee
Image
Sorrows are our best educator. A man can see further through a tear than a telescope.
Bruce Lee
Image
Have no rigid system in you, and you'll be flexible to change with the ever changing.

Boards don't hit back.

Running water never grows stale.
Bruce Lee
Image
To understand your fear is the beginning of really seeing.
Bruce Lee
Image
Because of styles people are separated. Research your own experience, absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own.
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
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.
