“You don’t have to run faster than the bear to get away. You just have to run faster than the guy next to you.”

“to travel faster than a speeding bullet is not much help if you and it are heading straight towards each other”

“As the joke goes, you don’t have to be faster than the wolf chasing you, just faster than everyone else running away.”

“Every morning the gazelle wakes up knowing she must run faster than the lion or will be dead. Every morning the lion wakes up knowing he must run faster than the gazelle or he'll starve. It doesn't matter if you are a lion or a gazelle: when the sun rises you better start to run.”

“Out in the field, any connection with home just makes you weaker. It reminds you that you were once civilized, soft; and that can get you killed faster than a bullet through the head.”
