What does the proverb 'long runs the fox' mean?

"Long runs the fox" means that eventually someone *will* get their comeuppance, i.e. given long enough then "justice will be served". There is more than one phrase or saying that starts with "Long runs the fox". The one I am explaining the meaning of would have a full description something like "Long runs the fox before it is caught". To explain, the fox is a bad animal that does a lot of bad things but if you set out to kill or catch a fox then your chances of doing so are slight. But many are hunting it and eventually it *will* get caught and killed. Hence "long runs the fox" because by the time it does get killed it has many times gone long distances and survived many attemtps to kill it before it finally meets its comeuppance, but its final demise is inevitable.
