"Willing is not enough, one must apply...." - Quote by Bruce Lee

“The past is an illusion. You must learn to live in the present and accept yourself for what you are now. What you lack in flexibility and agility you must make up with knowledge and constant practice.”

“I wish neither to possess nor to be possessed. I no longer covet 'paradise'. More important, I no longer fear 'hell'. The medicine for my suffering I had within me from the very beginning but I did not take it. My ailment came from within myself, but I did not observe it, until this moment. Now I see that I will never find the light unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, consuming myself.”

“Endurance is lost rapidly if one ceases to work at its maximum.”

“It is easy to perform a good action, but not easy to acquire a settled habit of performing such actions.”

“One gains at least two to three times more experience grabbing the tiger by the tail than reading about it in a book.”

“The virtue of a faculty is related to the special function which that faculty performs. Now there are three elements in the soul which control action and the attainment of truth: namely, Sensation, Intellect, and Desire. Of these, Sensation never originates action, as is shown by the fact that animals have sensation but are not capable of action.”

“Never suffer an exception to occur till the new habit is securely rooted in your life. Each lapse is like the letting fall of a ball of string which one is carefully winding up; a single slip undoes more than a great many turns will wind again.”

“The strength of the Constitution, lies in the will of the people to defend it.”

“To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will.”
