I Do Not Fear The Man Who Practices 1,000 Kicks One Time Each. I Fear The Man Who Practices 1 Kick 1,000 Times.

I Don't Believe In Different Ways Of Fighting Now. I Mean, Unless Human Beings Have 3 Arms And 3 Legs, Then We Will Have A Different Way Of Fighting. But Basically We All Have Two Arms And Two Legs So That Is Why I Believe There Should Be Only One Way Of Fighting And That Is No Way.

Do Not Like, Do Not Dislike; All Will Then Be Clear. Make A Hairbreadth Difference And Heaven And Earth Are Set Apart.

In The Middle Of Chaos Lies Opportunity.

In Combat, Spontaneity Rules; Rote Performance Of Technique Perishes.

The Attitude, 'you Can Win If You Want To Badly Enough,' Means That The Will To Win Is Constant. No Amount Of Punishment, No Amount Of Effort, No Condition Is Too 'tough' To Take In Order To Win. Such An Attitude Can Be Developed Only If Winning Is Closely Tied To The Practitioner's Ideals And Dreams.

Finally, A Jeet Kune Do Man Who Says Jeet Kune Do Is Exclusively Jeet Kune Do Is Simply Not With It. He Is Still Hung Up On His Self-closing Resistance, In This Case Anchored Down To Reactionary Pattern, And Naturally Is Still Bound By Another Modified Pattern And Can Move Within Its Limits. He Has Not Digested The Simple Fact That Truth Exists Outside All Molds; Pattern And Awareness Is Never Exclusive. Again Let Me Remind You Jeet Kune Do Is Just A Name Used, A Boat To Get One Across, And Once Across It Is To Be Discarded And Not To Be Carried On One's Back.

Belts Are Only Good For Holding Up Your Pants

I Have Come To Understand That Life Is Best To Be Lived And Not To Be Conceptualized. I Am Happy Because I Am Growing Daily And I Am Honestly Not Knowing Where The Limit Lies.

Using No Way As A Way, Having No Limitation As Limitation.

To Contemplate A Thing Implies Maintaining Oneself Outside It, Resolved To Keep A Distance Between It And Ourselves.

Dedication, Absolute Dedication, Is What Keeps One Ahead. A Sort Of Indomitable Obsessive Dedication And The Realization That There Is No End Or Limit To This Because Life Is Simply An Ever-growing Process, An Ever-renewing Process.

Remember No Man Is Really Defeated Unless He Is Discouraged.

Boards Don't Hit Back.

It Is Futile To Argue As To Which Leaf, Which Design Of Branches, Or Which Attractive Flower You Like; When You Understand The Root, You Understand All Its Blossoming.

Running Water Never Grows Stale.

Art Is The Way To The Absolute And To The Essence Of Human Life. The Aim Of Art Is Not The One-sided Promotion Of Spirit, Soul And Senses, But The Opening Of All Human Capacities – Thought, Feeling, Will – To The Life Rhythm Of The World Of Nature.

Genius: The Capacity To See And To Express What Is Simple, Simply!

The Biggest Adversary In Our Life Is Ourselves. We Are What We Are, In A Sense, Because Of The Dominating Thoughts We Allow To Gather In Our Head. All Concepts Of Self-improvement, All Actions And Paths We Take, Relate Solely To Our Abstract Image Of Ourselves. Life Is Limited Only By How We Really See Ourselves And Feel About Our Being. A Great Deal Of Pure Self-knowledge And Inner Understanding Allows Us To Lay An All-important Foundation For The Structure Of Our Life From Which We Can Perceive And Take The Right Avenues.

Reality Is Apparent When One Ceases To Compare.

So, In Other Words, They're Paying Me To Show Them, In Combative Form, The Art Of Expressing The Human Body.

An Intelligent Mind Is An Inquiring Mind. It Is Not Satisfied With Explanation, With Conclusions. Nor Is It A Mind That Believes, Because Belief Is Again Another Form Of Conclusion.
