About This Quote
The quote, “If a man could outpace his shadow, he would still find it waiting for him at the finishing line,” is an odd complaint. Is it really true that if you could run faster than your shadow, you would still be able to see it? If this were true, then no one would ever finish any race. The idea of running faster than your shadow seems to contradict the first sentence of this great saying.
