About this quote

Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) shouts this rallying cry at the end of Rocky IV (1985), following his victory over Soviet boxer Ivan Drago. The speech, delivered to a crowd initially hostile to Rocky, is the film's emotional climax and a Cold War allegory: if a working-class American can change, then perhaps ideological rivals can too. The speech drew a standing ovation from the fictional Soviet audience — and reportedly moved President Ronald Reagan.

Rocky IV (1985)

You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit.
— Rocky Balboa
Going in one more round when you don't think you can - that's what makes all the difference in your life.
— Rocky Balboa
Nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. 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. That's how winning is done!
