About this quote

Stallone wrote this line for Rocky Balboa in Rocky Balboa (2006), a film he also directed. It is one of cinema's best-known motivational speeches, delivered by Rocky to his son Robert. Stallone has spoken in multiple interviews about how the speech reflects his own life philosophy — shaped by years of rejection and failure before Rocky (1976) made him a star — making the line both fictional and autobiographical.
