Vinny, I dont think you understand the question or the statement,

Even though search engines show hundreds of variations of the statement it is absurd, illogical impossible nonsense. If you are knocked down 5 times you can get up every time your knocked down ie you can get up only five times. It is impossible to get up 6 times when you have only been knocked down five.

The reason I'm looking for it is that the John Wayne illogical line had a major impact on my wifes life when she was 12. She laughed when she heard it, this was a time when many people made fun of JW. Her father said " I believe in that ", and she said "I do too" and then explained about 5 and 6.

They then had a father/daughter moment as he pretend he didnt understand 5 and 6 and had to count them out on his fingers. He also decided that his little girl was the next Einstein.

She would like to see the movie again. There is no deep philsophical question here, just a matter of counting

Key to success.. 'getting up one more time than you fell down.."

I wouldn't dwell on it, just go with it-- Some things need no answer as they are not really a question.. get it?

Possibly it was Red River, with Montgomery Clift as his son.

I believe they had a fight and JW kept knocking down MC.
