“Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.”
“If you truly love life, don’t waste time; because time is what life is made of.”
“To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.”
“Notice that stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.”
“As you think, so shall you become.”
– Bruce Lee
Editor’s Note:
The only thing I would add, which is arguably also his most famous quote which is oddly missing, is Lee’s ‘Be Like Water’ adage, which says:
“Empty your mind. Be formless. Shapeless. Like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
