We were fortunate enough to have Bruce Lee with us for 32 years. In that time he became arguably the best martial artist in the world.
Lee was completely dedicated and focused on his philosophy and expression. His wisdom is enlighten and inspiring. Here are 12 of my favorites. I hope they inspire you as well.
