Nat: Maybe you broke something. Midge: I know. Never fall down, never fall down! Nat: Ah, it's nothing. I fall down every morning. I get up, I have a cup of coffee, I fall down. That's the system. Two years old, you stand up and then BOOM! seventy years later, you fall down again. Herb Gardner
About This Quote

When Nat and Midge were talking about getting up every morning after falling down the stairs, they were really talking about life. It seems as if we all fall down. And, as we get older, the fall down becomes more frequent and harder to pick ourselves up from. However, as long as we know that it's nothing that we can't bounce back from, we can always climb out of it and move forward. Nelson Mandela said: “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
