Quotes by Bruce Lee

Real living is living for others.

Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.

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

To hell with circumstances, I create opportunities.

Obey the principles without being bound by them.

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

The less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be.

The possession of anything begins in the mind.

All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.

As you think, so shall you become.

I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.

It’s not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.
