- Be happy, but never satisfied
- The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering
- Empty your cup so that it may be filled; become devoid to gain totality
- Now I see that I will never find the light unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, consuming myself
- Using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation
- The more we value things, the less we value ourselves
- If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo
- Obey the principles without being bound by them
- Relationship is understanding. It is a process of self-revelation. Relationship is the mirror in which you discover yourself - to be is to be related
- Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless and add what is specifically your own
- Effort within the mind further limits the mind, because effort implies struggle towards a goal and when you have a goal, a purpose, an end in view, you have place a limit on the mind
- In the middle of chaos lies opportunity (like Gribbin said in Deep Simplicity, interesting things happen on the edge of chaos, at complexity)
- In life there are no limits, only plateaus
- Art reaches its greatest peak when devoid of self-consciousness. Freedom discovers man the moment he loses concern over what impression he is making or about to make
What I got out of it
- A short and excellent gateway into the teachings and beliefs of Bruce Lee. Highly recommend as a starting point to get a taste of Bruce Lee's philosophy
