Bruce Lee

I was a street fighter. I was very bad. I was fighting constantly.

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

Self-knowledge is the ultimate power.

There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.

Take no thought of who is right or wrong, or who is superior. Leave all this behind and see the world as an innocent child.

Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own.

All types of knowledge, ultimately, mean self-knowledge.

The world is full of people who are determined to be somebody, or to get somewhere. They're all trying to make a name for themselves. But the man who is free from all these ambitions, he is the man who can be truly free.

The difference between the master and the novice is that the master has failed more times than the novice has tried.

I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach.

I often think of myself as a non-conformist. I don't want to be a part of any system. I want to be free.

The spirit of the individual is determined by his thoughts, not by his environment.

Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.

The abolition of the individual is a great mistake. The individual is the real.

To become a master, you must be a student. To be a student, you must be open to learning.

I am a living, breathing human being, not a statue. I make mistakes, I have flaws, but I am real.

I always wanted to be a Chinese movie star. I never wanted to be a Hollywood star. I always wanted to be a Chinese star.

The tools are there. You just need to pick them up and apply them.

Don't think, feel! It is like a finger pointing a way to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory.
