Art reaches its greatest peak when devoid of self-consciousness. Freedom discovers man the moment he loses concern over what impression he is making or about to make.

Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. I'll not willingly offend, nor be easily offended.

Meditation means to be free from all phenomena and calmness means to be internally unperturbed. There will be calmness when one is free from external objects and is not perturbed.

Every man today is the result of his thoughts yesterday.

The martial arts are ultimately self-knowledge. A punch or a kick is not to knock the hell out of the guy in front, but to knock the hell out of your ego, your fear, or your hang-ups.

You need emotional content.

Jeet Kune Do: it's just a name; don't fuss over it. There's no such thing as a style if you understand the roots of combat.
