Classic Quotes by Bruce Lee (1940-1965) Martial artist, actor
"Circumstances hell! I make circumstances!" ------------------------- "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'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine." ------------------------- "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." ------------------------- "Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable." ------------------------- "Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system." ------------------------- "Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind."

Science is the tree of death." ------------------------- "As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers." ------------------------- "Better murder an infant in its cradle than nurse an unacted desire." ------------------------- "Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read black where I read white." ------------------------- "Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?" ------------------------- "Embraces are cominglings from the head even to the feet, and not a pompous high priest entering by a secret place." ------------------------- "Energy is an eternal delight, and he who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence." |

"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell." ------------------------- "A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride." ------------------------- "A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading." ------------------------- "Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives." ------------------------- "Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither." ------------------------- "An explanation of cause is not a justification by reason." ------------------------- "Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable." ------------------------- "Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important."
