Lee, Bruce (Bruce Lee)

Art reaches its greatest peak when devoid of self-consciousness. Freedom discovers man the moment he loses concern over what impression he is making or about to make.
-- Bruce Lee

Using no way as way; having no limitation as limitation.
-- Bruce Lee

The past is an illusion. You must learn to live in the present and accept yourself for what you are now. What you lack in flexibility and agility you must make up with knowledge and constant practice.
-- Bruce Lee

Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality. To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth.
-- Bruce Lee

last and first quotations in your list of Bruce lee quotes

The quote "put every teacher in a room together..." etc is not attributable to Bruce Lee but was first made by me in the text of my BL biography Fighting Spirit.

In the first quote you have listed, BL is himself quoting the philosopher and teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti

Thank you, Bruce.

Fixing now.

For those in the cheap seats, Bruce Thomas is pointing to these quotes:

Truth has no path. Truth is living and, therefore, changing. Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety; in that state of mind, there is perception. To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. Awareness has no frontier; it is giving of your whole being, without exclusion.
-- Misattributed to Bruce Lee (Jiddu Krishnamurti)

Put every great teacher together in a room, and they'd agree about everything; put their disciples in there and they'd argue about everything.
-- Misattributed to Bruce Lee (Bruce Thomas)
