《功夫之王》中關於「功夫」的語錄

Gongfu. Hard work over time to accomplish skill. A painter can have gongfu. Or the butcher who cuts meat every day with such skill...his knife never touches bone. Learn the form, but seek the formless. Hear the soundless. Learn it all, then forget it all. Learn The Way, then find your own way. The musician can have gongfu. Or the poet who paints pictures with words and makes emperors weep. This, too, is gongfu. But do not name it, my friend, for it is like water. Nothing is softer than water...yet it can overcome rock. It does not fight. It flows around the opponent. Formless, nameles...the true master dwells within. Only you can free him.

功夫，它是長時間的苦練和用功得來的！畫家有他的功夫，可以用指尖作畫，殺豬的也有他的功夫，切肉可以不沾到骨頭！從有形，進而為無形，從無形中悟出真諦，你就不再受招式的困擾，武功也才能變得出神入化！一個樂手到了最高境界，可以為曲子增添生命，一個了不起的詩人，帝王都會為他的詩感動。這也是功夫！功夫只能意會不能言傳，它就像是水！因為水是無孔不入的，正所謂滴水可以穿石，它不與對手正面抗衡，而是從對手身邊穿過去，無形，無狀，真正的功夫在你的心裡，只有你才可以釋放出來！
