Sylvester Stallone

"I believe any success in life is made by going into an area with a blind, furious optimism."

"I believe there's an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts."

"When you're on top and you lead the parade, everyone's there throwing lilies and lilac water on your head. But when those parades have gone by and there's a storm in your heart, there are very few people that are going to sit there and listen to you bemoan life."
