    The loser of a knife fight dies in the street, the winner dies in the hospital.

    I don’t recall the origin of that or whether that’s the exact wording but the general idea at least has stuck with me.

      If you run away from a guy with a knife, you have to outrun the knife-wielder. If you run away from a guy with a gun, you have to outrun the bullet.
