Everyone has ups and downs in life, but some people are able to rise above the downs while others fall into the darkness. This great quote came from none other than, Goliath. When Goliath was asked about his greatest weakness he replied that his downfall was finding the bottom of the cliff while all around him friends were climbing up.
