Bruce Lee quotes - page 8

One should be in harmony with, not in opposition to, the strength and force of the opposition. This means that one should do nothing that is not natural or spontaneous; the important thing is not to strain in any way. (Bruce Lee)
You cannot force the Now. - But can you neither condemn nor justify and yet be extraordinarily alive as you walk on? You can never invite the wind, but you must leave the window open. View quote
Bruce Lee
If mere mechanical efficiency can make everyone a martial artist, then all is well. Unfortunately, combat, like freedom, is something that can not be preconceived. View quote
Bruce Lee
Jeet Kune Do favors formlessness so that it can assume all forms and since Jeet Kune Do has no style, it can fit in with all styles. As a result, Jeet Kune Do utilizes all ways and is bound by none and, likewise, uses any techniques which serve its end. View quote
Bruce Lee
Whether or not we can get together, remember well that art "lives” where absolute freedom is. View quote
Bruce Lee
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. View quote
Bruce Lee
Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him. View quote
Bruce Lee
In Science we have finally come back to the pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus, who said everything is flow, flux, process. There are no "things." View quote
Bruce Lee
To grow, to discover, we need involvement, which is something I experience every day - sometimes good, sometimes frustrating. No matter what, you must let your inner light guide you out of the darkness. View quote
Bruce Lee
Of course you're there. Death is always there. View quote
Bruce Lee
Life is better lived than conceptualized. (Bruce Lee)
He may be severely beaten up, too, but that will not stop him from carrying out his objective. That is the real fighter. View quote
Bruce Lee
If thought exists, I who think and the world about which I think also exist; the one exists but for the other, having no possible separation between them. View quote
Bruce Lee
One should be in harmony with, not in opposition to, the strength and force of the opposition. View quote
Bruce Lee
Instead of buying your children all the things you never had, you should teach them all the things you were never taught. Material wears out but knowledge stays. View quote
Bruce Lee
There is no such thing as maturity. There is instead an ever-evolving process of maturing. View quote
Bruce Lee
You must have complete determination. View quote
Bruce Lee
All of his classical techniques and standard styles are minimized, if not wiped out, and nothingness prevails. He is no longer confined. View quote
Bruce Lee
Because I will conquer death with death. View quote
Bruce Lee
What we are after is the ROOT and not the branches. View quote
Bruce Lee
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)
I have changed from self-image actualization to self-actualization, from blindly following propaganda, organized truths, etc. to searching internally for the cause of my ignorance. View quote
Bruce Lee
Be aware of doing your best to understand the ROOT in life, and realize the DIRECT and the INDIRECT are in fact a complementary WHOLE. View quote
Bruce Lee
I do not think unless I think of things - and there I find myself. View quote
Bruce Lee
When our mind is tranquil, there will be an occasional pause to its feverish activities, there will be a let-go, and it is only then in the interval between two thoughts that a flash of UNDERSTANDING - understanding, which is not thought - can take place. View quote
Bruce Lee
