Literary notes about outride (AI summary)

The word "outride" has been employed in literature to convey the notion of surpassing or outpacing an adversary, often against all conventional odds. For example, in [1] from "A Polyglot of Foreign Proverbs," the saying "Set a beggar on horseback, and he’ll outride the devil" uses this term to illustrate how an unexpected elevation—a beggar on horseback—can achieve feats beyond what might normally be anticipated, even outmaneuvering a personified embodiment of evil. This creative employment underscores the idea that circumstance and resource can dramatically shift one's ability to overcome challenges.
  1. Set a beggar on horseback, and he’ll outride the devil.
    — from A Polyglot of Foreign Proverbs
