maybe in the long run 

A sarcastic way of replying to someones statement showing your disbelief in what they say/ without planning on actually doing what they ask of you.
Ben: "Hey Ryan, when you planning on giving me my $20 for the bet you lost"

Ryan: "Hmm, maybe in the long run"

Steve: "I swear, i'm gonna get all the girls at the party tonight"

Lisa: "Ha! Maybe in the long run"

I’d rather a good horse that’ll walk to the river, than have to buy 2 bad horses that will ultimately cost more in the long run 

This is a common olden saying that was said a lot back in the olden days. I think I heard someone say this one time awhile ago. You'd rather have a horse that could walk to the water, than two horse that'll cost me more in the long run.
Man that reminds me of the saying "I’d rather a good horse that’ll walk to the river, than have to buy 2 bad horses that will ultimately cost more in the long run"
Like a long time, but longer.
Guy One: "When did you meet her?"
Guy Two: "It was a long rune ago man :|"

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
