Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend. -Bruce Lee

The older i get, the more i realize i know nothing in comparison to the world. - My grandpa, John Hutton.

Nathan, This Empty Your Mind, be shapeless like water quote by Bruce Lee, is cool. I've never heard anything quite like it before. It's really neat. I like the imagery too, of flowing as opposed to crashing. "Crashing is no fun!" Flowing as water, now that's imagery, I can really appreciate and dig.

Hey' again :thumbs-up Thanks Nathan for posting this.

The other quote is cute, and probably bc I'm envisioning a grampy stating this.
