Bruce Lee was not only a martial artist and actor, but also a philosopher. Here are some of his most famous philosophical thoughts:

1. Be Water, My Friend: “Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

2. Express Yourself: “Always be yourself; express yourself; have faith in yourself. When I look around, I always learn something and that is to be always yourself, and to express yourself, to have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

3. No Limitation as Limitation: “Using no way as way; having no limitation as limitation.

4. One Family Under the Sky: “Under the sky, under the heavens, there is but one family.

5. Practical Dreamer: “Be a practical dreamer backed by action.

6. Changeless State: “To change with change is the changeless state.

7. Research Your Own Experience: “Research your own experience. Absorb what is useful. Reject what is useless. Add what is essentially your own.

8. Walk On!: “When life gives you obstacles, you must summon the courage and walk on!

9. Don’t Neglect Life: “Don’t neglect life by worrying about death. Have no regrets. Do what you want to do and with sincerity and to the best of your ability. You can’t ask much more from life than that.

These philosophies reflect Bruce Lee’s outlook on life and martial arts, and they continue to inspire millions of people around the world1.
