About This Quote
We go on our hands and knees and crawl our way towards the truth. Whether we are in a relationship, with our own health or in life in general, we all have to go through stages of trying times and hard times and sometimes we even get knocked down and don’t want to get up. However, we always have to keep going no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in. We may not be able to stand up straight but we keep going on our hands and knees and crawl our way towards the truth.
