Quote of the day by Bruce Lee

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law on July 1, 2026, designating May 17 as Bruce Lee Day.

Bruce Lee is the first Chinese American in California history to be honored with an annual namesake day.

The United States Postal Service honored Lee in February 2026 with a commemorative stamp featuring his flying kick.

Bruce Lee's quote 'A goal is not always meant to be reached; it often serves simply as something to aim at' was written in his Personal Liberation Journal, later published in 'Striking Thoughts: Bruce Lee's Wisdom for Daily Living'.

Shannon Lee, CEO of the Bruce Lee Foundation, said the honor reflects her father's legacy as a bridge between cultures.
