Thanks, jk...

I think you're mixing your allegories. The tortoise and the hare (sorry about that, now edited to correct statement) is not "the ends justifies the means", but "slow and steady wins the race".

No argument with Zanardi, but life sucks

Finally, in the spirit of a little more fun, IIRC the Yoda quote is "Do or do not. There is no try."
