Please help me to get my idea across
____ the most, fallen the furthest.
____ the highest, fallen the furthest.
(I want to make a sentence to describe a kind of people, who was a millionair yesterday, homeless today; or those who was in a high place yesterday and become a prisoner today)
BTW, I'm not sure if there is any English preverbs or sayings that fit this situation. Your comments and suggestions are welcome.

We also have the saying "The higher they fly, the harder they fall."

Jane's "How the mighty have fallen" is best example. In America, we also have a saying "from rags to riches" -- meaning going from poor to rich -- and sometimes people say the reverse: riches to rags.

How the mighty have fallen - this is a saying we use a lot when people have dropped a long way down from where they once were.
The higher you are the further you have to fall - this is another saying I have heard in England.
Jane :)
