15+ Best Rock Lee Quotes That All Naruto Fans Will Know
Gallery
Rock Lee is one of the strongest shinobis in the entire 'Naruto' series.
His character is shaped from the image of the great martial artist and actor Bruce Lee in mind. He even shares his birthday with him on the 27 November.
When it seemed like Rock Lee would never be able to become a shinobi due to his lack of chakra, which prevents him from being able to use ninjutsu or genjutsu, Gai sensei took Rock Lee under his wing and trained him to become one of the strongest taijutsu users in all of the Land of Fire.
We also see his drunken fist abilities while fighting with Kimimaro when he mistakenly drinks alcohol instead of his medicine.
Rock Lee's character teaches us that if we work hard enough, even impossible tasks become easy. He teaches us that hard work and practice can actually beat genius on a battlefield.
His motto and catchphrase is "to be stronger than yesterday, if I have to I'll be stronger than half a day ago, even a minute ago!"
That is why we have created a list of Rock Lee quotes that will inspire the sleeping hard worker in all of us. If you are looking for Rock Lee motivational quotes, Rock Lee youth quotes, Rock Lee inspirational quotes, important Naruto quotes, inspirational Naruto quotes, or Rock Lee funny quotes, you will find them here.
