    if you can dig a hole the fastest someone eventually is going to hand you a bigger shovel

    -an uncle of mine multiple occasions.

    I do have to mention that he was one of the laziest people I have ever known and died in his mid-40s due to his weight and zero exercise. So while he was technically correct you might be better off being wrong in this one case.
