"The truth is outside of all fixed..." - Quote by Bruce Lee

“Dedication, absolute dedication, is what keeps one ahead. A sort ofindomitable obsessive dedication and the realization that there isno end or limit to this because life is simply an ever-growing process,an ever-renewing process.”

“We [tend to] have more faith in what we imitate than in what we originate. We [often feel that we] cannot derive a sense of absolute certitude from anything which has its root in us. The most poignant sense of insecurity comes from standing alone; we are not alone when we imitate.”

“Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.”

“When the remedy you have offered only increases the disease, then leave him who will not be cured, and tell your story to someone who seeks the truth.”

“Breach of promise is a base surrender of truth.”

“Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.”

“Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.”

“The steady character of our countrymen is a rock to which we may safely moor; and notwithstanding the efforts of the papers to disseminate early discontents, I expect that a just, dispassionate and steady conduct, will at length rally to a proper system the great body of our country. Unequivocal in principle, reasonable in manner, we shall be able I hope to do a great deal of good to the cause of freedom & harmony.”

“Government must not supersede the will of the people or the responsibilities of the people. The function of government is not to confer happiness, but to give men the opportunity to work out happiness for themselves.”
