More quotes by Bruce Lee
A good teacher protects his pupils from his own influence.
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
Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
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 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
True refinement seeks simplicity.
Bruce Lee
The abdominal and waist region coordinate all parts of the body and act as the center or generator. Therefore, you can promote the ability to control the body's action and master your will more easily.
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
Where there is no style, there is no slave. Martial Arts mean honestly expressing yourself. No style. No slave.
Bruce Lee
The knowledge and skills you have achieved are meant to be forgotten so you can float comfortably in emptiness, without obstruction.
Bruce Lee
One rule is to not use complicated techniques unless they are necessary to achieve your goal. First, use simple movements, and if they don't work, then introduce the more complex ones.
Bruce Lee
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
Art is the way to the absolute and to the essence of human life. The aim of art is not the one-sided promotion of spirit, soul and senses, but the opening of all human capacities – thought, feeling, will – to the life rhythm of the world of nature. So will the voiceless voice be heard and the self be brought into harmony with it.
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
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
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
Give recognition where it is due. Compliments stimulate more effort and desire to improve. Be generous with honest praising.
Bruce Lee
To be honest to oneself, and that is very hard to do.
Bruce Lee
Out of chaos, find simplicity, From discord, find harmony.
Bruce Lee
What we are after is the root and not the branches. The root is the real knowledge the branches are surface knowledge. Real knowledge breeds 'body feel' and personal expression surface knowledge breeds mechanical conditioning and imposing limitation and squelches creativity.
Bruce Lee
