Great analogy, but analogies can be deceptive, because while the snail can coexist with the tiger, for every two animals that coexist hundreds still have to fail the natural selection process.

We like to view the world through an idealistic narrow lens of an analogy but the truth is often far more complex.

I would go further to say that analogies and quotations are dangerous and deceptive. These quotations don't actually offer any new information. You usually only like analogy because you already agree with it, no new information or insights are being offered other than the comparison that is part of the analogy itself.
