“A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.”   —   Bruce Lee

(Like . . . how not to ask foolish questions?  Or, that there sure are a lot of fools out there?  Yes, and just that many people think . . . differently.  The “foolish” question might persuade you into looking at something from an unconventional perspective.  And of course, a fool is much more than ignorant.  Even the wisest answer will not benefit them.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“It’s not the daily increase but daily decrease.  Hack away at the unessential.”   —   Bruce Lee

“As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”   —   Bruce Lee

(I think Bruce was probably paraphrasing Confucius, or Gaozi, or someone.  Either that, or he was just kinda letting his popularity go to his head.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.”   —   Bruce Lee

(He was, of course, referring to his hybrid form of martial arts.  But, he could easily be speaking to any form of repressive government as well.  Be well . . . be water . . . and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(Damn skippy, Bruce!  It’s a shame that you died so young.  This isn’t our first Bruce Lee quote, guys.  I don’t recall what the earlier one was, but his name came up right away as a previous entry.  Happy Chinese New Year, folks!  It’s the Year of the Snake!  Not sure just what that means, but I’m sure there’s some positive spin to it.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  Every picture with Bruce comes up as “Non-free”, so you’re getting the Yin and the Yang.   —   YUR
