What goes up must come down.

Prov. Anything that has risen or been raised up must eventually fall down. When it came time to move out of our second-floor apartment, we looked at our large, heavy sofa with dismay, not sure how we would get it down the stairs. "What goes up must come down," my husband said, "Somehow."
