If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You can be knocked down, but it doesn't mean you're out.
I never fall down. I always fight.
My dad always said, 'Champ, the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up.'
There comes a time when you have to stand up and be counted.
I tell people that stand-up's like golf: you gotta do it every day to get it down - or at least three times a week to get it down.
I think people relate to the person who gets knocked down or maybe has to come from behind and get that victory.
You can lay down and die, or you can get up and fight, but that's it - there's no turning back.
It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.
I've been knocked down a lot of times.
To be knocked out doesn't mean what it seems. A boxer does not have to get up.
