Quotes about parenting from movies and TV shows
You know my father used to say, whatever you do, do it 100%. When you work, work. When you laugh, laugh. When you eat, eat like it’s your last meal.
Louie, a moment of pain is worth a lifetime of Glory. Remember that.
When it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when you jump. Otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life. And that, I can’t do.
I said it before and I’ll say it again. Life moves pretty fast. You don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Winners don’t make excuses when the other side plays the game.
Do you love this game? I mean love it with your whole heart? Because if you don’t, let’s not even bother. Let’s not open that door that just going to slam it right in our face. I love this game, I live this game. There’s a thousand other guys waiting in the wings who are obsessed with this game. Obsession is going to beat Talent every time. You got all the talent in the world. But are you obsessed? Is it all you ever think about? Let’s face it. It’s you against you out there.
Your story may not have such a happy beginning but that doesn’t make you who you are. It is the rest of your story, who you choose to be.
Without pain, without sacrifice you would have nothing.
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 going to hit his hard as is 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. Now if you know what you’re worth, now go out and get what you’re worth. But you got to be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you want to be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that.
Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.
Don’t ever let somebody tell you you can’t do something. You got a dream, you got to protect it. You want something, go get it.
Then why didn’t you quit? You know I was trying to get rid of you. Yet you stayed.
Yeah I stayed. I stayed because every time you threw a brick at my head or said I smelled, it hurts. But it could never hurt more than it did every day of my life just being me.
If you’re good at something never do it for free.
The hardest choices require the strongest Wills.
(Standing in front of a mirror) You see this guy here staring back at you, yeah, that’s your toughest opponent.
Hey, progress, not perfection.
