Bruce Lee

Rise early, work hard, strike oil.

Courage is facing your fears. Stupidity is fearing nothing.

Try a thing you haven’t done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time, to figure out whether you like it or not.

All men are created equal. No matter how hard they try, they can never erase those words. That is what America is about.

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Hold yourself to a higher standard than anybody else expects of you.

Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.

See yourself as a work in progress.

There is no need to be afraid of having faults, because knowing we have them can help us to improve.

In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.

Most people think small because they are afraid of success, afraid of making decisions, afraid of winning.

The intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything.

Relish the opportunity to be an outsider. Embrace that label – being an outsider is fine, embrace the label – because it’s the outsiders who change the world and who make a real and lasting difference.

If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.

True joy comes when you inspire, encourage, and guide someone else on a path that benefits him or her.
