“it's not how far you fall, but how high you bounce that counts.”
Zig Ziglar (1926–2012) American motivational speaker
“Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!”

“I’m the candidate who forgot to take off her hat before she threw it in the ring.”
Gracie Allen (1902–1964) American actress and comedienne

Context: You remember me. I’m Gracie Allen. I’m the candidate who forgot to take off her hat before she threw it in the ring.
Furthermore, I’m the only candidate who got the idea of running myself. All the others had to have somebody else think it up for them, or anyway they say the only reason they’re running is because their many friends kept after them and after them until they finally gave in.
