Bruce Lee imparting his singular, inspirational quotes of wisdom, viz:
“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.”
“I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.”
“Be happy, but never satisfied.”
“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.”
“Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.”
“Don’t fear failure. — Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.”
“A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.”
“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who had practiced one kick 10,000 times.”
“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.”
“Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.”
“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.”
“Empty your cup so that it may be filled; become devoid to gain totality.”
“For it is easy to criticize and break down the spirit of others, but to know yourself takes a lifetime.”
“Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.”
“A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.”
“The great mistake is to anticipate the outcome of the engagement; you ought not to be thinking of whether it ends in victory or defeat. Let nature take its course, and your tools will strike at the right moment.”
