Image
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
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
If you don't want to slip up tomorrow, speak the truth today.
Bruce Lee
Image
Give up thinking as though not giving it up. Observe techniques as though not observing.
Bruce Lee
Image
If you want to learn to swim jump into the water. On dry land no frame of mind is ever going to help you.
Bruce Lee
Image
The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has no style at all. He lives only in what is.
Bruce Lee
Image
In combat, spontaneity rules rote performance of technique perishes.
Bruce Lee
Image
Cease negative mental chattering. If you think a thing is impossible, you'll make it impossible. Pessimism blunts the tools you need to succeed.
Bruce Lee
Image
Circumstances hell! I make circumstances!
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
I create opportunities.
Bruce Lee
Image
As long as we separate this oneness into two we won't achieve realization.
Bruce Lee
Image
Not being tense but ready. Not thinking but not dreaming. Not being set but flexible. Liberation from the uneasy sense of confinement. It is being wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come.
Bruce Lee
Image
Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
Bruce Lee
Image
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
Image
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
Image
To tell the truth, I could beat anybody in the world.
Bruce Lee
Image
It is not a shame to be knocked down by other people. The important thing is to ask when you're being knocked down, 'Why am I being knocked down?' If a person can reflect in this way, then there is hope for this person.
Bruce Lee
Image
To spend time is to pass it in a specified manner. To waste time is to expend it thoughtlessly or carelessly. We all have time to either spend or waste and it is our decision what to do with it. But once passed, it is gone forever.
Bruce Lee

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
