Bruce Lee

What comes after victory? Why do people value victory so much? What is “Glory”? What kind of victory is “Glorious”?

The word ‘superstar’ is an illusion.

After all, all knowledge simply means self-knowledge.

Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light.

You just wait. I’m going to be the biggest Chinese Star in the world.

If you think a thing is impossible, you’ll only make it impossible.

Be a practical dreamer backed by action.

Faith without work is death.

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

Empty yourself! Open up! After all, the usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

No one can hurt you unless you allow him to.

Not “what” to think but “how” to think.

A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.

Be happy, but never satisfied.

It’s not what you give, it’s the way you give it.

Obey the principles without being bound by them.

If there is a God, he is within. You don’t ask God to give you things, you depend on God for your inner theme.

The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.

There is no weapon more deadly than the will.

Yesterday’s dreams are often tomorrow’s realities.

Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against.

The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.

Real living is living for others.

The possession of anything begins in the mind.

Be a calm beholder of what is happening around you.

To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.

Never waste energy on worries or negative thoughts, all problems are brought into existence– drop them.

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

As you think, so shall you become.

Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless and add what is specifically your own.

Showing off is the fool’s idea of glory.

I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education.

A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.

Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.

The more we value things, the less we value ourselves.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
