17 Sylvester Stallone Quotes to Inspire You to Stay Strong

Best known for portraying Rocky Balboa and John Rambo, Sylvester Stallone is a legendary American action star, film director, writer and producer.

Stallone had a tough childhood due to his parents’ hostile relationship and financial crisis and actually spent some of his earliest years in foster care.


He never gave up on his dream of becoming an actor, so while waiting for his career to take off, Stallone worked all sorts of odd jobs and even sold his dog to a family to help ends meet. Fortunately, after Rocky became a commercial success, he came back for Butkus and gave him a part in the movie.

The script for Rocky was written by Stallone himself and even if he was still financially struggling, he refused to sell it unless he was allowed to star in it. Not only he got what he wanted, but also won some well-deserved Academy Awards for his performance.

Sylvester Stallone is a true inspiration for anyone who hit rock bottom, but still believes there is light at the end of tunnel.

Here are 17 Sylvester Stallone quotes to inspire you to stay strong.
