Having watched all 6 Rocky films, this is my favorite quote of them all (and there are definitely a lot of quote worthy moments):
"I'd hold you up to say to your mother, "this kid's gonna be the best
kid in the world. This kid's gonna be somebody better than anybody I
ever knew." And you grew up good and wonderful. It was great just
watching you, every day was like a privilige. Then the time come for
you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did. But
somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let
people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good. And
when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like
a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world
ain't all sunshine and rainbows. 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. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as
hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard
you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep
moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're
worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya 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! Cowards do that and that
ain't you! You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you no matter
what. No matter what happens. You're my son and you're my blood. You're
the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself,
ya ain't gonna have a life. Don't forget to visit your mother." - Rocky Balboa
