His main message was to keep ones mind, attitude, and senses pliable and receptive, and, at the same time, develop the ability to think correctly. This process of inquiry, debate, and practice would lead not only to knowledge of ones physical strengths and weaknesses but also to the discovery of basic truths that allow one to grow toward a state of harmonious unity of spirit, mind, and body. --Linda Lee Cadwell, from her preface He was a teacher first of all. He taught philosophy and tried to spread knowledge and wisdom...The integrity with which Bruce Lee lived his life and tried to uphold what he believed to be right--that is a clear example of how it ought to be done. No matter what it is youre doing, do it with total honesty and total dedication. He definitely influenced me. --Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I thought Bruce was a brilliant, fine philosopher about everyday living. He was very much into finding out who he was. His comment to people was Know yourself. The good head that he acquired was through his knowing himself. He and I used to have great long discussions about that. No matter what you do in life, if you dont know yourself, youre never going to be able to appreciate anything in life. That, I think, is todays mark of a good human being--to know yourself. --Steve McQueen Bruces philosophy seemed always to be going back to the Zen origins, where contradictory advice states the simplest of truths. Bruces lessons were lessons without being lessons; he was not a teacher, yet he was the greatest teacher Ive ever known. --Stirling Silliphant For every question you asked him he would never have to think about it, he would just blurt it right out. Bruce would cover every point with a little saying. If he would see that you were having trouble with something, he would always know just what to tell you. It would seem like he was always dusting off your bogie man. Like if there was something that you were scared of, Bruce would notice and then say Ah, scared of that, well look at it this way. He would change your whole ide
