Bruce Lee's 10 most memorable quotes
#1 Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light.
#2 Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and 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.

#3 Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own.
#4 Defeat is a state of mind; No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.

#5 A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.
#6 A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.

#7 Learning is never cumulative, it is a movement of knowing which has no beginning and no end.
#8 To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.

#9 If you always put limits 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.
#10 Always be yourself. Express yourself. Have faith in yourself.
