What does rocky balboa say

You know, the older I get the more things I gotta leave behind, that's life. The only thing I'm asking you guys to leave on the table Rocky Balboa : What is it you said to the kid? It ain't about how hard you're hit, it's about how you can get hit and keep moving forward.

Get up! Mason 'The Line' Dixon : It's already over. Rocky Balboa : There ain't nothin' over 'til it's over.

Mason 'The Line' Dixon : What's that from, the '80s? Rocky Balboa : That's probably the '70s. Rocky Balboa : Yo, Adrian, we did it We did it. Mason 'The Line' Dixon : [before the final round] You one crazy old man. Rocky Balboa : You'll get there. Rocky Balboa : Hey yo, champ. Aren't you a little scared? Mason 'The Line' Dixon : I don't get scared. Rocky Balboa : [turns and walks away with his son] You know, I think you try harder when you're scared That's when it's worked best for me.

Rocky Balboa : You know I couldn't have done nothing without you Yo Adrian we did it Rocky Balboa : We did it Rocky Balboa : [visiting his old house as he thinks about Adrian] I remember when she was standing there all nervous and shy with that small smile And all I wanted her to do was trust me And she did She did Rocky Balboa : Come on Paulie, we're about to serve the special.

Paulie : Italian food made by Mexicans ain't that special. Rocky Balboa : What's crazy about standing toe to toe and saying "I am"? Rocky Balboa : Lotta people come to Vegas to lose I didn't. Rocky Balboa : [to a commentator just before his match with Dixon] Hi, how ya doing? Rocky Balboa : [Rocky and Mason Dixon embrace after their match, which has been more brutal and grueling than either expected] You're a great champion, you got heart!

Rocky Balboa : Ya know they always say if you live in one place long enough, you are that place. Paulie : I ain't no talking building, Rock. Rocky Balboa : You know your kid sorta resembles ya. He's got that thick Irish hair, you know. Marie Yeah it's the other one. That's all. Rocky Balboa : Thanks. Commission Chair : However, this commission, in good conscience, cannot recommend you for a license, and we therefore deny your application. Commission Rep : Yes, you did.

Rocky Balboa : So I should get a license, right? How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody.

This quote rings particularly true, because Rocky himself was once a contender who refused to give up, and we saw him keep getting up and trying again until he eventually became a winner. It has become iconic, entirely down to the way Sylvester Stallone says it and the conviction he says it with.

I pity the fool, and I will destroy any man who tries to take what I got! T is best remembered for. When Mr. T passes away God forbid , those two lines will be etched on his gravestone.
