Pleasure is the flower that fades, remembrance is the lasting perfume.

There is intelligence when you are not afraid.

To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities

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

Keep your mind on the things you want and off those you don’t.

Research your own experience; absorb what is useful, reject what is useless and add what is essentially your own.

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Be like water; water has form and yet it has no form. It is the softest element on earth, yet it penetrates the hardest rock.

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

Remember my friend that it is not what happens that counts, it is how you react to them.

Your mental attitude determines what you make of it, either a stepping stone or stumbling block.

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

Remember, success is a journey, not a destination. Have faith in your ability. You will do just fine.

It is not daily increase but daily decrease – hack away the unessential! The closer to the source, the less wastage there is.

What you habitually think largely determines what you will ultimately become.

No one can hurt you unless you allow him to.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do

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

Ever since I was a kid, the word “quality” has meant a lot to me.

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

Do not precede others, always follow them.

The inner self is the true self.

The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.

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

Faith without work is death.

Faith backed by action is applied faith.

Thoughts backed by faith will overcome all obstacles.

Don’t strive to become, but be.

Be flexible so you can change with change.

When one is not “expressing” himself, he is not free.

It is later than you think! Know yourself!

Intelligence is the understanding of self

Be “self-aware” rather than a repetitious robot.

The law of averages: put in more, come out with more.

Failure is what your mind acknowledges.

No man is defeated unless he is discouraged.

One must always strive to be better. The sky’s the limit.

Be a practical dreamer backed by action.

I don’t believe in pure luck. You have to create your own luck. You have to be aware of the opportunities around you and take advantage of them.

Believe me that in every big thing or achievement there are always obstacles, big or small, and the reaction one shows to such obstacles is what counts, not the obstacle itself.

There is no such thing as defeat until you admit so yourself, but not until then!

The spiritual power of man’s will removes all obstacles.

If you want to truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against. The struggle between “for” and “against” is the mind’s worst disease.

Art, after all, is a means of acquiring “personal” liberty. Your way is not my way nor mine yours.

I, Bruce Lee, am a man who never follows there formulas of the fear-mongers. So, no matter if your color is black or white, red or blue, I can still make friends with you without any barrier.

I dare not say that I have reached any state of achievement. I’m still learning, for learning is boundless.

The more we understand, the greater and deeper will be our contact with all that is around us.

Don’t be in a hurry to “fix” things; rather, enrich your understanding in the ever-going process of discovery and finding more the cause of your ignorance.

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

A good teacher cannot be fixed in a routine. He must not impose his student to fit a lifeless pattern, a preformulation.
