Bruce Lee

Success only means doing something sincerely and wholeheartedly. I think life is a process. Through the ages, the end of heroes is the same as ordinary men. They all died and gradually faded away in the memory of man. But when we are still alive, we have to understand ourselves, discover ourselves and express ourselves. In this way, we can progress, but we may not be successful.

Do not run away; let go. Do not seek; for it will come when least expected.

I refer to my hands, feet and body as the tools of the trade. The hands and feet must be sharpened and improved daily to be efficient.

'What is' is more important than 'what should be.' Too many people are looking at 'what is' from a position of thinking 'what should be'.

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.

Choose the positive. You have choice, you are master of your attitude, choose the positive, the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.

After all, all knowledge simply means self-knowledge.

If I should die tomorrow, I will have no regrets. I did what I wanted to do. You can't expect more from life.

When you say that something is impossible, you have made it impossible.

If you want to learn to swim jump into the water. On dry land no frame of mind is ever going to help you.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire.

Observe what is with undivided awareness.

Remember no man is really defeated unless he is discouraged.

Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.

A man strikes you, make him bleed. He makes you bleed, you break his bones. He breaks your bones, kill him. Being hit is inevitable, strike back twice as hard.

To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.

Simplicity is the key to brilliance.

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.

Cease negative mental chattering. If you think a thing is impossible, you'll make it impossible. Pessimism blunts the tools you need to succeed.

Sorrows are our best educator. A man can see further through a tear than a telescope.

If one loves, one need not have an ideology of love.
