John Ralston Saul Quotes

Any day, the tide could turn. You have one or two bad films, and now you've got to make a comeback.

To have a comeback, you have to have a setback.

Comeback is a good word, man.

The lower you fall, the higher you'll fly.

A setback is a setup for a comeback.

I've been around a lot of greats I seen in this industry that have problems, but the comeback can be that much greater.

A lot of people get up to the top of the pile, maybe get one No. 1 contender match-up, and if they lose, they drift into obscurity. I lost, and I went back a bit. But I built myself back up. Three times.

Often out of periods of losing come the greatest strivings toward a new winning streak.

You have no choices about how you lose, but you do have a choice about how you come back and prepare to win again.

There's nothing as exciting as a comeback - seeing someone with dreams, watching them fail, and then getting a second chance.

I've always been somewhere down from the top, so I've never had to suffer being knocked off the top.

We're not done. We're just going to continue playing and hoping to put some wins together again.

If we will maintain our hope and confidence in the genius of our people, they will work out this problem, and their ability and industry will bring us back to normal conditions.

If you're in the game long enough, you're going to be the toast of the town one day, and the next day you'll be toast.

When you come off something really disappointing, you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away.

I came out the box and for seven years I had a huge career. And then it's done, it's dumped. But I ain't gone, and I refuse to be gone.

I have been elevated to such a high status that the fall will be very steep.

Champions all get kicked when they're down.

… snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

It is important when you are losing to come back and not get beat.

It's hard when you get down. You start pressing a little bit trying to get back in the game.

It's good to go down because then you know you have to climb back to your old spot. And you can't be on top and not know that you can only go down.

The most important lesson to remember is that failure is inevitable, but so is success, so rebound.

You can't let a failure keep you down, because if you stay down after you fail, you are going to stay down for good.

Where you have a little setback or you are out of the team you're considered a different player but you know you will come out of the other side of it.
