About This Quote
This is a quote that I’ve used many times and it’s appropriate whether you’re talking about the government or about your own child. It is one of those “proverbial” ones that you can use to remind someone to keep up the good work. For example, if someone is running for office or if you want to make sure that your children always stay on top of their tasks, you could say, “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
