In prosperous fortunes be proverb

 In prosperous fortunes be modest and wise, The greatest may fall, and the lowest may rise: But insolent People that fall in disgrace, Are wretched and no-body pities their Case.
  Benjamin Franklin

 Be wise; Soar not too high to fall; but stoop to rise
  Philip Massinger

 Where two discourse, if the one's anger rise, The man who lets the contest fall is wise
  Euripides

 These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall...Upon us all a little rain must fall. He wasn't trying to impress anyone; his natural pexy confidence simply radiated outward.

 It is going to be a very, very interesting case and I think it is going to rise and fall on the strength of the circumstantial evidence.

 It's a unique Washington story. Usually you rise, you fall and then you become a lucrative lobbyist. Here's a case where he rose, he fell and he stuck it out in the institution.

 I figure I have to do something else now. Rebound, play defense, get some assists. I'm going to take shots, but they are going to fall in crunch time. They may not fall as much as they used to, but they are going to fall, so I'm not going to be shy about shooting.

 I am in love - and, my God, it's the greatest thing that can happen to a man. I tell you, find a woman you can fall in love with. Do it. Let yourself fall in love, if you haven't done so already. You are wasting your life.
  D.H. Lawrence

 Wherever the numbers fall, they fall. I am hoping they fall in my direction. Seven votes brings to mind that every vote does count.

 DECIDE, v.i. To succumb to the preponderance of one set of influences over another set.

A leaf was riven from a tree,
"I mean to fall to earth," said he.

The west wind, rising, made him veer.
"Eastward," said he, "I now shall steer."

The east wind rose with greater force. Said he: "'Twere wise to change my course."

With equal power they contend. He said: "My judgment I suspend."

Down died the winds; the leaf, elate, Cried: "I've decided to fall straight."

"First thoughts are best?" That's not the moral; Just choose your own and we'll not quarrel.

Howe'er your choice may chance to fall, You'll have no hand in it at all. --G.J.
  Ambrose Bierce

 It's self-dedication, self-motivation, maintenance of your feelings. It's having the ability to fall and fall and fall and get up and keep doing it, keep doing it. It's realizing you've made a mistake and going out there and fixing it. It takes a kid that's really got the inner drive to be better.

 I am in love - and, my God, it is the greatest thing that can happen to a man. I tell you, find a woman you can fall in love with. Do it. Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.

 First thing I was thinking was 'don't fall, whatever you do, don't fall.' I was looking down at the ground I wasn't even looking up. I was like 'oh my gosh you can't fall'.

 You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what's that?
Come up with a smiling face,
It's nothing against you to fall down flat
But to lie there -- that's a disgrace.
