Brake Quotes
On knowing exactly when to ease off and when to stop.
These Brake quotes move between literal driving detail, like tyre pressure and brake temperature at Le Mans, and metaphor, such as inequality putting a brake on the fight against poverty. The imagery pairs naturally with Car quotes.

I'm not a big fan of self-driving cars where there's no steering wheel or brake pedal. Knowing what I know about computer vision and AI, I'd be pretty uncomfortable with that. But I am a fan of a combined system - one that can brake for you if you fall asleep at the wheel, for example.

You always have to play it safe, no matter who you're fighting. I don't fight any easy guys. I haven't maybe ever in the UFC. To me, you've always got to be safe. But I don't want to have my foot on the brake at all. My foot is going to be on the gas, and I'm going to be smart at everything.
