All Types Of Knowledge, Ultimately Mean Self Knowledge.. Bruce Lee: The Quotes

As a fletcher makes straight his arrow,
a wise man makes straight his trembling and unsteady thought,
which is difficult to guard, difficult to hold back.

Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than.
Be not for or against.

A famous soldier came to the master Hakuin and asked:
"Master, tell me: is there really a heaven and a hell?"

"Who are you?" asked Hakuin.

"I am a soldier of the great Emperor's personal guard."

"Nonsense!" said Hakuin.
"What kind of emperor would have you around him?
To me you look like a beggar!"
At this, the soldier started to rattle his big sword in anger.
"Oho!" said Hakuin.
"So you have a sword!
I'll wager it's much too dull to cut my head off!"

At this the soldier could not hold himself back.
He drew his sword and threatened the master, who said:
"Now you know half the answer! You are opening the gates of hell!"

The soldier drew back, sheathed his sword, and bowed.
"Now you know the other half," said the master.
"You have opened the gates of heaven ."

Whoever recommends and helps a good cause
becomes a partner therein, and
whoever recommends and helps an evil cause
shares in its burdens..

When I let go of what I am
I become what I might be..
- Lao Tzu
