Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do Quotes

• "The usefulness of a cup is its emptiness". - Be prepared to accept new knowledge and not be hindered or biased by old knowledge.
• "Using no way as way". - Don't have preconcieved notions about anything.
• "Having no limitation as limitation". - Don't be confined by anything, achieve true freedom.
• "From form to formless and from finite to infinite". - Don't be confined by limitations and forms.
• The consciousness of "self" is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action - This is actually a Zen or Chan maxim which means to "be in the moment" and NOT be distracted by your own thought process. The Zen quote is: "If you seek it, you will NOT find it". The "Western" counterpart to this is the term "Being in the Zone".
• "If people say Jeet Kune Do is different from "this" or from "that," then let the name of Jeet Kune Do be wiped out, for that is what it is, just a name. Please don't fuss over it." - Don't get hung up on labels and parameters. JKD is alive and therefore always changing; don't try to box it in.
