Bruce Lee quotes on growth and learning


“A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.”

“As you think, so shall you become.”

“A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.”

“Don’t fear failure.  Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.”

“Empty your mind; be formless, shapeless – like water. Now you put water into 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.”

“Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one’s potential.”

“I am not teaching you anything. I just help you to explore yourself.”

“If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.”

“If you want to learn to swim jump into the water. On dry land no frame of mind is ever going to help you.”

“In order to taste my cup of water you must first empty your cup.”

“Knowing is not enough, you must apply; willing is not enough, you must do.”

“The knowledge and skills you have achieved are meant to be forgotten so you can float comfortably in emptiness, without obstruction.”

This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.” “Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature. Our most difficult job was to develop the cartoon’s unnatural but seemingly natural anatomy for humans and animals.” “Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world.” “At first the cartoon medium was just a novelty, but it never really began to hit until we had more than tricks… until we developed personalities. We had to get beyond getting a laugh. They may roll in the   aisles, but that doesn’t mean you have a great picture. You have pathos in the thing.” “I take great pride in the art...

Take the train off the tracks and it’s free-but it can’t go anywhere.”   “It’s not the situation, but whether we react, or respond, to the situation that’s important.”   “It’s not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you.”   “It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you use that makes a difference.”   “Just remember, when you should grab something, grab it; when you should let go, let go.”   “Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.”   “The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want right now.”   “To respond is positive, to react is negative.”   “When you exercise your freedom to express yourself at the lowest level, you ultimately condemn yourself to live at that level.”   “With integrity you have no...
