Motivational Quotes
Competition
What it comes down to is that anybody can win with the best horse. What makes you good is if you can take the second or third-best horse and win.

Best Quotes about Competition
You have to be able to center yourself, to let all of your emotions go... Don't ever forget that you play with your soul as well as your body.
Abdul-Jabbar, Kareem
You get out in front -- you stay out in front.
Foyt, A. J.
The price which society pays for the law of competition, like the price it pays for cheap comforts and luxuries, is great; but the advantages of this law are also greater still than its cost -- for it is to this law that we owe our wonderful material development, which brings improved conditions in its train. But, whether the law be benign or not, we must say of it: It is here; we cannot evade it; no substitutes for it have been found; and while the law may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department.
Carnegie, Andrew
Man is a gaming animal. He must always be trying to get the better in something or other.
Lamb, Charles
The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less.
Sampras, Pete
The general fact is that the most effective way of utilizing human energy is through an organized rivalry, which by specialization and social control is, at the same time, organized co-operation.
Cooley, Charles Horton
Every time you go out on the ice, there are slight flaws. You can always think of something you should have done better. These are the things you must work on.
Hamill, Dorothy
Every man in the world is better than someone else and not as good someone else.
Saroyan, William
Most games are lost, not won.
Stengel, Casey
I believe in rules. Sure I do. If there weren't any rules, how could you break them?
Durocher, Leo
We want to be first; not first if, not first but; but first!
Kennedy, John F.
Our life is not really a mutual helpfulness; but rather, it's fair competition cloaked under due laws of war; it's a mutual hostility.
Carlyle, Thomas
Hail Caesar, those who are about to die salute you.
Gladiator's Salute
The time your game is most vulnerable is when you're ahead, never let up.
Laver, Rod
One cannot play chess if one becomes aware of the pieces as living souls and of the fact that the Whites and the Blacks have more in common with each other than with the players. Suddenly one loses all interest in who will be champion.
Rapoport, Anatol
I don't care how good you play, you can find somebody who can beat you, and I don't care how bad you play, you can find somebody you can beat.
Penick, Harvey
Competition is the spice of sports; but if you make spice the whole meal you'll be sick.
Leonard, George
The Law of Win Win says, Let's not do it your way or my way; let's do it the best way.
Anderson, Greg
I watch a man shoot pool for an hour. If he misses more than one shot I know I can beat him.
Lassiter, Luther
Competitions are for horse, not artist.
Bartok, Bela
Enjoy the successes that you have, and don't be too hard on yourself when you don't do well. Too many times we beat up on ourselves. Just relax and enjoy it.
Sheehan, Patty
The only competition worthy a wise man is with himself.
Jamieson, Mrs.
When you want to win a game, you have to teach. When you lose a game, you have to learn.
Landry, Tom
The game isn't over until it's over.
Berra, Yogi
It's amazing how much of this is mental. Everybody's in good shape. Everybody knows how to ski. Everybody has good equipment. When it really boils down to it, it's who wants it the most, and who's the most confident on his skis.
Crist, Reggie
Win or lose, do it fairly.
Rockne, Knute
I won it, at least five million times. Men who were stronger, bigger and faster than I was could have done it, but they never picked up a pole, and never made the feeble effort to pick their legs off the ground and get over the bar.
Richards, Bob
Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed -- there's so little competition.
Hubbard, Elbert
Competition is a process or variety of habitual behavior that grows out of a habit of mind.
Beecher, Willard
Once you're physically capable of winning a gold medal, the rest is ninety percent mental.
Johnson, Patti
When the game is over it is really just beginning.
Kramer, Jerry
When you step onto that field, you cannot concede a thing.
Sayers, Gayle
How can they beat me? I've been struck by lightning, had two back operations, and been divorced twice.
Trevino, Lee
He can run but he can't hide.
Louis, Joe
A competitor will find a way to win. Competitors take bad breaks and use them to drive themselves just that much harder. Quitters take bad breaks and use them as reasons to give up. It's all a matter of pride.
Lopez, Nancy
You must play boldly to win.
Palmer, Arnold
Competition is the whetstone of talent.
Saying
If football taught me anything about business, it is that you win the game one play at a time.
Tarkenton, Fran
Becoming number one is easier than remaining number one.
Bradley, Bill
Focus on competition has always been a formula for mediocrity.
Burrus, Daniel
When you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.
Martin, Jerry
Playing safe is only playing.
Olson, Chuck
I play [golf] with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.
Hogan, Ben
You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your tricks of war.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
You must sacrifice, train, do everything possible to put yourself in a position to win. But if you consider second or third a failure, I feel sorry for you.
Falcon, Joe
I love the winning, I can take the losing, but most of all I Love to play.
Becker, Boris
The biggest things are often the easiest to do because there is so little competition.
Horne, William Van
I don't compete with other discus throwers. I compete with my own history.
Oerter, Al
Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
Shakespeare, William
My hat's in the ring. The fight is on and I'm stripped to the buff.
Roosevelt, Theodore
