“For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked falls but once.” (Mishle 24:16)

“The tsaddick may fall, but he never considers this a disaster; he picks himself up and carries on.  The rasha falls only once; he considers it a catastrophe from which he can never recover, not as something sent by Heaven for his eventual betterment.” ~ R’ Eliyahu Dessler zt”l
