Quote
"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. When a lion wakes up, it knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. Whether you are a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up, you'd better be running."
Paraphrasing Abe Gubegna's Quote.
