[Ads-l] Fast alone, far together

[Mark Mandel]

This seems to be an extension of, or reply to, Kipling's "He travels the
fastest who travels alone" (The Winners ("The Story of the Gadsbys") <
https://www.poetryloverspage.com/poets/kipling/winners.html>).

Of course, Kipling may have been using or adapting an older saying, but the
redoubtable Quote Investigator doesn't have it.

(Now watch 3 or a dozen listies point it out in Shakespeare.)

Jonathan: "GB"?
