Many are called but few get up.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are aphorisms that, like airplanes, stay up only while they are in motion.
If you fall then that's not all... if you wish to be down then stay down... if you wish to be up then get up.
If you fall, fall on your back. If you can look up, you can get up.
It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.
I don't know why it is we are in such a hurry to get up when we fall down. You might think we would lie there and rest for a while.
There comes a time when you have to stand up and be counted.
I say we are climbing out of a ditch and we are climbing up.
The number of times I have fallen down is the number of times I have gotten up.
They, that unnamed 'they,' they've knocked me down but I got up. I always get up-and I swear when I went down quite often I took the fall; nothing moves a mountain but itself. They, I've long ago named them me.
The world is like a grand staircase, some are going up and some are going down.
