When a man has confidence in himself, when all he wants in the world is to live out his destiny in freedom and purity, he comes to regard all those vastly overestimated and far too costly possessions as mere accessories, pleasant perhaps to have and make use of, but never essential.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Those who distrust the life-giving force within them, or who have none, are driven to compensate through such substitutes as money.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The important thing for you is to be alert, to question, to find out, so that your own initiative may be awakened.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Independent inquiry is needed in your search for truth, not dependence on anyone else’s view or a mere book.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
“A man is literally what he thinks”. This might be a shocking statement, but everything is a state of mind.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
There is nothing that will enable you to pursue your course in greater peace than the patient bearing of insult. Patience is not passive, on the contrary it is concentrated strength.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The enemy of development is this pain phobia – the unwillingness to do a tiny bit of suffering.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Jogging is not only a form of exercise to me, it is also a form of relaxation. It is my own hour every morning when I can be alone with my thoughts.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Without frustration you will not discover that you might be able to do something on your own. We grow through conflict.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
A fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a bodyguard.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Behind every motion is the music of his soul made visible. Otherwise empty motion is like an empty word; no meaning. Postures without proper channeling of your emotions behind them are dead movements.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Open yourself and flow, my friend. Flow in the total openness of the living moment.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
We are always in a process of becoming and nothing is fixed. Have no rigid system in you, and you’ll be flexible to change with the ever changing.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Be pliable. When a man is living, he is soft and pliable; when he is dead, he becomes rigid. Pliability is life; rigidity is death, whether one speak’s of man’s body, his mind, or his spirit.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Whatever your problems happen to be in the future, remember well that they cannot remain stationary but must move together with your living spirit. Otherwise, you will drift into artificiality or attempt to solidify the ever-flowing. To avoid that, you must change and be flexible. Remember, the usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
You can never step in the same river twice, my friend. Like flowing water, life is perpetual movement. There is nothing fixed.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Let things be what they are, move like water, rest like a mirror, respond like an echo, pass quickly like the nonexistent, and be quiet as purity.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Those who are materialistic still hold onto the ego as though it were a possession, rather than using it as a tool. Inwardly, psychologically, be a nobody.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The point to be made about ego is that man should use his ego and not be used by ego or blinded by it.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
There can be no initiative if one has fear, and fear compels us to cling to tradition, gurus, etc.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
To be one thing and not to change is the climax of stillness. To have nothing in one that resists is the climax of emptiness. To remain detached from all outside things is the climax of fineness. To have in oneself no contraries is the climax of purity.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
To doubt is to think, and thought is the only thing in the universe whose existence cannot be denied, because to deny is to think.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
To me, defeat is anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
I don’t believe in system, nor in method. And without system, without method, what’s to teach?
Quote by -Bruce Lee
I might be able to help you to discover and examine your problem by awakening your awareness of their cause and effect, but I cannot teach you, for I am not a teacher, and I have no style.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
All I can offer is an experience but never a conclusion, so even what I have said needs to be thoroughly examined by you.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The round of summer and winter becomes a blessing the moment we give up the fantasy of eternal spring.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The waters are in motion all the time, but the moon retains its serenity. The mind moves in response to the ten thousand situations but remains ever the same.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
I no longer cover paradise. More important, I no longer fear hell. If you ask me what I will be in heaven, I will say this: Why should I think about something so far away when there are so many things in this life I have not finished learning about?
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Truth cannot be structured or confined. When there is no center and no circumference, then there is truth.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Mind is an ultimate reality which is aware of itself and is not the seat of our empirical consciousness – by “being” mind instead of “having” mind.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Not conviction, not method, but perception is the way of truth. It is a state of effortless awareness, pliable awareness, choiceless awareness.
