The harder you fall, the higher you bounce

पातितोऽपि कराघातैः
उत्पतत्येव कन्दुकः ।
प्रायेण साधुवृत्तानाम्
अस्थायिन्यो विपत्तयः ॥
- नीतिशतकम्

A ball, though forced to fall on ground with a blow from hand, rebounds upwards. In general, the failures of the virtuous do not last long.

Failure is a stepping stone to success.
The harder you fall, the higher you bounce.
