Quotations for overtakes

An ass laden with gold overtakes every thing. [ Proverb ]

Though a lie may be swift, truth overtakes it. [ Italian Proverb ]

None is so wise but the fool sometimes overtakes him. [ Proverb ]

He that passes a judgment as he runs overtakes repentance. [ Proverb ]

Idleness travels very slowly, and poverty soon overtakes her. [ Hunter ]

Praise follows Truth afar off; and only overtakes her at the grave; Plausibility clings to her skirts and holds her back till then. [ Lowell ]

I suppose as long as novels last, and authors aim at interesting their public, there must always be in the story a virtuous and gallant hero; a wicked monster, his opposite; and a pretty girl, who finds a champion. Bravery and virtue conquer beauty; and vice, after seeming to triumph through a certain number of pages, is sure to be discomfited in the last volume, when justice overtakes him, and honest folks come by their own. [ Thackeray ]
