The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.

You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.

Even when you win the rat race , you're still a rat .

Don't ever forget the words on a postcard that my father sent me last year: "If you win the rat race, you're still a rat.

I think just being aware you’re a rat in a race is about as far as most of us are going to get.

At the same time, I learned that you always lose. Only the rascals think they win.

I will not join the rat race because I'm not a rat. And I will not blindly follow a specific faith because I'm not a bat. The only race I'll take part in is for humans being humane. It's called the human race, and sadly it's got the least participants.

The human race is an unfair and stupid competition. A lot of runners don't even get decent sneakers or clean drinking water. Some runners are born with a massive head start, every possible help along the way and still the referees seem to be on their side. It's not surprising a lot of people have given up competing altogether and gone to sit in the grandstand, eat junk food and shout abuse. What we need in this race is a lot more streakers.

Even if you are on the right track, but just sit there, you will still get run over.

it's like being attacked by a RAT!

They say it can't be won,
The way the game is run.
But if you choose to stay
You wind up playin' anyway.

Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet you can't win.

If a rat is a good model for your emotional life, you're in big trouble.

If you can accept losing, you can't win.
