Sayings by Bruce Lee
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle; you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.
Real living is living for others.

The spirit of the individual is determined by his actions and attitudes.
Life is wide, limitless. There is no border, no frontier.
Be happy, but never satisfied.
