The Moment is freedom. — I couldn't live by a rigid schedule. I try to live freely from moment to moment, letting things happen and adjusting to them.
Bruce Lee
What IS is more important than WHAT SHOULD BE.
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. Therefore, the world and I are both in active correlation; I am that which sees the world, and the world is that which is seen by me. I exist for the world and the world exists for me.
Bruce Lee
Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it.
Bruce Lee
A good martial artist does not become tense but ready. Not thinking yet not dreaming, ready for whatever may come.
Bruce Lee
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle 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.
Bruce Lee
When there is freedom from mechanical conditioning, there is simplicity.
Bruce Lee
The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.
