    “Young love is a flame: very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”

    Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts (Page 85)

      “The method for health promotion is based on water, as flowing water never grows stale. The idea is not to overdevelop or to overexert, but to normalize the function of the body.”

      Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts (Page 82)

        “Live content with small means; seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion. Be worthy, not respectable, wealthy, not rich; study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common.”

        Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts (Page 78)

          “False science and false religion express their dogma in highly elevated language to make simple people think that they are mysterious, important, and attractive. But this mysterious language is not a sign of wisdom. The wiser a person is, the simpler the language he uses to express his thoughts.”

          Lucy Malory, via A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 247)

            “I have no religion whatsoever. I believe that life is a process and that man is a self-made product. The spirit of the individual is determined by his dominating thought habits.”

            Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts (Page 76)

              “To be perfectly frank, I really do not believe in God. If there is a God, he is within. You don’t ask God to give you things, you depend on God for inner theme.”

              Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts (Page 76)

                “I wish neither to possess nor to be possessed. I no longer covet paradise. More important, I no longer fear hell. If you ask me what I will do in heaven, I will say this: Why should I think about something so far away when there are so many things in this life I have not finished learning about?”

                  “One hour of honest, serious thinking is more precious than weeks spent in empty talks.”

                  Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 246)
