Life is the effect of feelings. — Life is simply what our feelings do to us.
“A man is literally what he thinks.” This might be a shocking statement, but everything is a state of mind.
Enjoy yourself. — Remember my friend to enjoy your planning as well as your accomplishment, for life is too short for negative energy.

The fundamental relationship between existence and cognition. — To doubt is to think, and thought is the only thing in the universe whose existence cannot be denied, because to deny is to think. When one says that thought exists, it automatically includes saying that one exists because there is no thought that does not contain as one of its elements a subject who thinks.

The timeless moment. — The “moment” has no yesterday or tomorrow. It is not the result of thought and therefore has no time.
The dragon.
If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
The root of concentration. — Concentration is the ROOT of all the higher abilities in man.
Golpes de sabiduría de Bruce Lee.
Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo.
Empty your mind. You know how water fills a cup? It BECOMES that cup. You have to think about nothing. You have to BECOME nothing.
Matter and energy, Yang and Yin, heaven and earth, are conceived of as essentially one or as two coexistent poles of one indivisible whole.
On the Dominican Republic. — I like the country and the people. The Dominicans have the simplicity of a real human being; there is not so much hypocrisy like in the big cities.

thought is the reaction of a mind which is conditioned by experience
The value of ideas. — Ideas are the beginning of all achievement — in every industry, in every profession.
On developing the creative attitude. — To develop the creative attitude, analyze, focus on the wanted SOLUTION; seek out and fill your mind with the FACTS; write down IDEAS, both sensible and seemingly wild; let the facts and ideas SIMMER in your mind; evaluate, recheck, settle on the CREATIVE IDEAS.
Knowledge creates desire for the beautiful.
Honor and disgrace are alike a cause of excitement.
Adversity causes the mind to think properly.
