Rocky Balboa - The Importance of Pride and Self-Respect
Martin:
You got everything money can buy, except what it can't. It's pride. Pride is what got your ass out of here, and losing is what brought ya back. But people like you, they need to be tested. They need a challenge.
Mason The Line Dixon:
But you know that ain't never gonna happen. There ain't anybody out there, Martin.
Martin:
There's always somebody out there. Always. And when that time comes and you find something standing in front of you, something that ain't running and ain't backing up and is hitting on you and you're too damn tired to breathe. You find that situation on you. That's good, cause that's baptism under fire! Oh, you get through that and you find the only kind of respect that matters in this damn world: self-respect.
