"Life has been compared to a race, but……" — Oliver Goldsmith

"Life has been compared to a race, but the allusion improves by observing, that the most swift are usually the least manageable and the most likely to stray from the course. Great abilities have always been less serviceable to the possessors than moderate ones."

Oliver Goldsmith
