“It’s not about how many times you fall (get knocked down), it’s about how many times you get back up” is an old saying. A joke on the saying was posted on Twitter by Henpecked Hal on July 26, 2018:
me: it’s not about how many times you fall, it’s about how many times you get back up
cop: that’s not how field sobriety tests work
