"The early bird gets the worm."

One of the main principles of mobile warfare.

Confederate cavalry commander Forrest (later a notorious Klansman) was famous for a misquote..."get there firstest, fastest, with the mostest"

Forrest is often erroneously quoted as saying his strategy was to "git thar fustest with the mostest." Now often recast as "Getting there firstest with the mostest",[50] this misquote first appeared in print in a New York Tribune article written to provide colorful comments in reaction to European interest in Civil War generals. The aphorism was addressed and corrected by a New York Times story in 1918 to be: "Ma'am, I got there first with the most men.

Misquote or not, the principle stall applies in relation to the early bird!
