Your comment reminded me of a great post from Joel Spolsky:

"...you have to move forward every day. Sooner or later you will win."

Easy quote to make. If a person calls him out on it, he can just say "well it's still not your time yet". Until they're dead. And then after they're dead, he can just say "well they must have missed a few days of moving forward."

It's a nice thought, and sounds good, but there's no substance to it.
