“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion, or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re the lion or the gazelle – when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.” – African Proverb
Love this! Who put this up!?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite get your but out-a bed proverb:)
ReplyDeletei seriously wish you all would read this "born to run" book. maybe we'll make that our next book club read. this quote is in there in the chapter where the author discusses man's ability to outrun animals and how we've survived for thousands of years. fascinating stuff...
ReplyDeleteGreat quote Lisa. I need to post it next to my alarm clock.
