Bruce Lee: ““Research your own experiences for the truth.… Absorb what is useful.… Add what is specifically your own.… The creating individual is more than any style or system.””

“The more we associate experience with cash value, the more we think that money is what we need to live. And the more we associate money with life, the more we convince ourselves that we’re too poor to buy our freedom. With this kind of mind-set, it’s no wonder so many Americans think extended overseas travel is the exclusive realm of students, counterculture dropouts, and the idle rich.”

““A man is rich,” he wrote in Walden, “in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.””
