1.- Destruir a tu rival frente a ti, el aniquilamiento de cosas que están en el camino de la paz, en el de la justicia y la humanidad.
2.- Destruir tus propios impulsos resultantes del instinto de conservación. Destruir cualquier cosa que moleste a tu mente. No para hacer daño a alguien, sino para vencer tu propia codicia, ira y locura. El Jeet Kune Do está dirigido hacia uno mismo.”

“What you HABITUALLY THINK largely determines what you will ultimately become.”

“When asked what the difference between a karate punch and a kung-fu punch was during his first U. S. screen test in 1965, Bruce Lee replied, “Well, a karate punch is like being hit by an iron bar—whack! A kung-fu punch is like being hit by an iron ball swung on an iron chain with an iron ball attached to the end—it goes WHANG!—and it hurts inside.” Then he stood up and showed exactly what that might look like in a flurry of hands and feet moving so fast they blurred.”

“To be perfectly frank, I really do not.”

“Know the difference between a catastrophe and an inconvenience. — To realize that it's just an inconvenience, that it is not a catastrophe, but just an unpleasantness, is part of coming into your own, part of waking up.”

“To realize freedom the mind has to learn to look at life, which is a vast movement, without the bondage of time, for freedom lies beyond the field of consciousness — care for watching, but don't stop and interpret "I am free," then you're living in a memory of something that has gone before.”

“Knowledge, surely, is always of time, whereas knowing is not of time. Knowledge is from a source, from accumulation, from conclusion, while knowing is a movement.”

“The timeless moment. — The "moment" has no yesterday or tomorrow. It is not the result of thought and therefore has no time.”

“Seek to understand the root. — It is futile to argue as to which single leaf, which design of branch, or which attractive flower you like; when you understand the root, you understand all its blossoming.”

“You have to keep your reflexes so that when you want it — it’s there. When you want to move — you are moving. And when you move, you are determined to move!

To become one with your feelings so that, when you think — it is.”
