Quotes by Bruce Lee

“The usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness.”

“Cause we are the ones that want to play,always want to go,but you never want to stay.And we are the ones that want to choose,always want to play, but you never want to lose.”

“Making two possibilities a reality. Predicting the future of things we all know. Fighting off the diseased programming Of centuries, centuries, centuries, centuries. Science fails to recognise the single most Potent element of human existence. Letting the reigns go to the unfoldings faith, Science has failed our world. Science has failed our mother earth.”

“You know what I want to think of myself? As a human being. because, I mean I dont want to be like As Confucius say, but under the sky, under the heavens there is but one family. It just so happens that people are different.”

“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. 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. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

“Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own.”

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Be happy, but never satisfied.

You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.

Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.

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

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

The doubters said, Man can not fly, The doers said, Maybe, but well try, And finally soared In the morning glow While non-believers Watched from below.

The More we value things, the less we value ourselves

Dont get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.

Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. 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. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
