An Béarla
When you’re down, they kick you.

An brí:
The flip side of “Success has many fathers“, when you’re doing well people will be falling over themselves to say how they’ve contributed to your success. However when you’re down on your luck, or fail at an endeavor, the same people will often kick you while you’re down.
