Everyone knows the man, the myth, the legend - The Rock. Besides knowing Dwayne Johnson as a former professional wrestler, where he got his ring name, we know The Rock as a box-office star and an incredibly talented actor. Among many Dwayne Johnson movies, we perhaps best remember him in the roles of an assassin, CIA agent, sexy lifeguard, tooth fairy, Dr. Smolder Bravestone, and many more.
One of the highest-paid entertainers in Hollywood is renowned for his charisma, witty tongue, diligence, and athleticism and was even named the most likable person in the world. No wonder gym rats, personal trainers, and gurus are using Dwayne Johnson quotes to inspire themselves and others. Don't lie that you haven't seen at least a single Dwayne Johnson quote in someone's Instagram caption.
If one person could move mountains, it would definitely be The Rock (because rocks can move mountains, get it?). As he said in one of his motivational quotes, "With drive and a bit of talent, you can move mountains. I know. I've done it." In various interviews, public speeches, and appearances, Dwayne has revealed how huge a part training plays in his life.
