"It's a shame a great martial artist such as Bruce had to leave us so soon, but I feel that he accomplished more in his lifetime than most people will accomplish in 70 or 80 years, so I don't feel that he was really shortchanged. He really accomplished what he wanted in life, and that is what life is about. It is not how long you live but what you accomplish while you are living..."

--Chuck Norris on Bruce Lee in "Bruce Lee As Seen Through The Eyes Of Fellow Martial Artists", Bruce Lee: 1940 - 1973 (Los Angeles, California: Rainbow Publications, Inc., 1974)
