I had no idea he was so wise. Was he a religious man โ it certainly sounds so?
Easy to assume that yes ! However according to John Little (Who is one of the only persons to review Bruce Leeโs personal notes and such) he states that Lee was an atheist. When asked in 1972 about his religious affiliation, he replied, โnone whatsoeverโ, and when asked if he believed in God, he said, โTo be perfectly frank, I really do not.โ
Thanks for the info. I, of course, find that very sad.
I love inspirational quotes and this is amazing ๐ keep up the great work ๐๐ฝ
Not much of a Bruce Lee fan; I had no idea how prolific he was with his wisdom and wit. Thanks for sharing!
