We must bond together as brothers... or die together as fools

There are always two choices, two paths to make. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.

When the archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the Bulls eye is never the fault of the target.  To improve your aim- improve yourself.

To do the best you can means to better yourself.

If you think you can or you think you can't... you're right!

The ultimate human freedom is to choose one's attitude in any circumstance.

Black Belt- a White Belt that never quit.

Aerodynamically the Bumble Bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway.

The most important thing is: To sacrfice what we are for what we can become.

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.
Albert Einstein

Every man dies, .. but not every man truly lives.

'He knew alot about life, except how to enjoy it'

This thing we call failure is not the 'falling down'.. but staying down.

One can never consent to creep when one has the impulse to soar.

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.

Your anger can become your opponents greatest weapon.

Our bodies are our gardens.. our wills are gardeners

The road is long, the roots are sorrow.. but the fruit is sweet

To respond is to control, to react is to be controlled

A good martial artist is like water. Why? Because water is insubstantial. By that I mean you cannot grab hold of it. You cannot punch it or hurt it. So flow like water and be flexible.

Be formless - shapeless. Like water. Now, you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it in a tea-pot it becomes the tea-pot. Now water can flow... or it can crash. Be water my friend.

To be truly invincable, you must become adaptable. Water is an excellent example. If you punch water, it creates a hole for your arm. It adapts. Become the softests thing - because the softest thing cannot be broken.

We are what we repeatedly do
Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us

Morning is when I am awake and there is a dawn in me.. We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by concoiuse endeavor. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or carve a statue, and so to make few objects beautiful, but it is far more glorious to carve and pain the very atmosphere and medium though which we look.. to affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of the arts.

The ultimate goal of martial arts is not victory in battle, but the perfection of the spirit of the practitioner.


-------Quotes from Bruce Lee

If you always put limits on yourself and what you can do, physical or anything, you might as well be dead. It will spread into your work, your morality, your entire being. There are no limits, only plateaux . But you must not stay there, you must go beyond. If it kills you, it kills you.
-BL

Knowing is not enough, you must apply
Willing is not enough, you must do
-BL

It is like pointing at the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory.
