He is widely regarded as the greatest oriental martial arts actor of the 20th century. For many people, he was an inspiration and a cultural pop icon.

To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.
Knowledge gives you power, but character gives you respect.
Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
A student once asked Bruce Lee: “You teach me fighting, but you talk about peace. How do you reconcile the tho?” Bruce Lee beautifully replied: “It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than to be a gardener in a war.”
