He that fights and runs away, May turn and fight another day; But he that is in battle slain, Will never rise to fight again.

Tacitus

The man who runs may fight again.

Menander

He who fights and runs away May live to fight another day.

Oliver Goldsmith

A coward may cover the ground with his words but when the time comes to fight he runs away.

Chinua Achebe

The great thing about rock n' roll is, if you want to fight - like, fight the system, fight the man, fight the government, fight the people in front of you - it's Don Quixote all over again. You're really chasing windmills.

Billy Corgan

A man may say, "From now on I'm going to speak the truth." But the truth hears him and runs away and hides before he's even done speaking.

Saul Bellow

He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day and looks like a pussy today.

Tank Abbott

I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again...

Jimmy Webb

Rise O fallen fighters, rise and take your stance again, He who fight and run away, Live to fight another day

Bob Marley

Time fleeth on, Youth soon is gone, Naught earthly may abide; Life seemeth fast, But may not last-- It runs as runs the time.

Charles Godfrey Leland

Be quick to do good. If you are slow, The mind, delighting in mischief, Will catch you. Turn away from mischief. Again and again, turn away. Before sorrow befalls you. Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, And you will be filled with joy. A fool is happy Until his mischief turns against him. And a good man may suffer Until his goodness flowers. Do not make light of your failings, Saying, 'What are they to me?' A jug fills drop by drop.

Gautama Buddha

A man in passion rides a horse that runs away with him.

Thomas Fuller

[N]either in war nor yet at law ought any man to use every way of escaping death. For often in battle there is no doubt that if a man will throw away his arms, and fall on his knees before his pursuers, he may escape death; and in other dangers there are other ways of escaping death, if a man is willing to say and do anything. The difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness; for that runs faster than death.

Socrates

It had been a perfect nap - the sort a man runs into now and again by chance.

Charles Finch

If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may be even a worse fate, you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
