Quotes from Bruce Lee

Be cautious whom you trust. — Don't easily trust anyone on this earth because there are all kinds.

Anxiety. — Anxiety is the gap between the NOW and the THEN. So if you are in the NOW, you can't be anxious, because your excitement flows immediately into ongoing spontaneous activity.

The more we value things, the less we value our selves. — We should devote ourselves to being self-sufficient and must not depend upon the external rating by others for our happiness. So it is true that the more we value things, the less we value our self. The more we depend upon others for esteem, the less we are self-sufficient.

You cannot clear muddied water with your hand. — Who is there that can make muddy water clear? But if allowed to remain still, it will become clear of itself. Who is there that can secure a state of absolute repose? But keep calm and let time go on, and the state of repose will gradually arrest.

Yielding will overcome anything superior to itself; its strength is boundless.

It's not daily increase but daily decrease—hack away the unessentials!

Some quote here

Who is there that can make muddy water clear? But if allowed to remain still, it will become clear of itself.

Relaxation is a physical state, but it is controlled by the mental state. It is acquired by the conscious effort to control the thought as well as the action pattern. It takes perception, practice and willingness to train the mind into new habits of thinking and the body into new habits of action.

On humbleness. — To be humble to superiors is duty; to equals is courtesy; to inferiors is nobleness; and to all, safety!

With all the training thrown to the wind, with a mind perfectly unaware of its own working, with the self vanishing nowhere, anybody knows where, the art of Jeet Kune Do attains its perfection.

Life is better lived than conceptualized. — This writing can be made less demanding should I allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I've come to understand that life is best to be lived — not to be conceptualized. If you have to think, you still do not understand.

Having one's own will. — What does self-willed mean? Hell, isn't it knowing above all, that, indeed, one is the captain of one's soul, the master of one's life? Now what causes such realization and, consequently, brings about a change in one's behavior? TO BE REAL, TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONESELF.

Be like water...my friend.

What is true stillness? Stillness in movement.

A wise man can always be found alone. A weak man can always be found in crowd.

Gustavo Solivellas dice: "El amor es como la amistad prendida en fuego. Al principio, una llama, muy bonita, a menudo caliente y feroz, pero ligera y a veces parpadea. A medida que el amor crece, nuestros corazones maduran y nuestro amor se convierte en brasas, ardientes e insaciables" (Bruce Lee)

The more we value things, the less we value our selves.

One of the best lessons you can learn in life is to master how to remain calm. Calm is a super power.

Vale más tener una cicatriz por valiente que la piel intacta por cobarde.

Martial arts are ultimately self-knowledge. A punch or a kick is not to knock the hell out of the guy in front, but to knock the hell out of your ego, your fears, and hang-ups.

Acceptance of death. — The round of summer and winter becomes a blessing the moment we give up the fantasy of eternal spring.

It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.

The spirit is strengthened in sorrow. — Happiness is good for the body, but sorrow strengthens the spirit.
