Competition Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Competition

1.
A horse never runs so fast as when he has other horses to catch up and outpace.
Ovid

2.
This is a tough game. There are times when you've got to play hurt, when you've got to block out the pain.
O'Neal, Shaquille

3.
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

4.
The only competition worthy a wise man is with himself.
Jamieson, Mrs.

5.
You must play boldly to win.
Palmer, Arnold

6.
Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
Shakespeare, William

7.
Somebody will always break your records. It is how you live that counts.
Campbell, Earl

8.
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

9.
Racing is a matter of spirit not strength.
Guthrie, Janet

10.
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

11.
Most games are lost, not won.
Stengel, Casey

12.
Competitions are for horse, not artist.
Bartok, Bela

13.
How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you are a winner or a loser.
Holtz, Lou

14.
I believe in rules. Sure I do. If there weren't any rules, how could you break them?
Durocher, Leo

15.
For when the One Great Scorer comes to mark against your name, He writes -- not that you won or lost -- but how you played the Game.
Rice, Grantland

16.
If football taught me anything about business, it is that you win the game one play at a time.
Tarkenton, Fran

17.
What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of the fight in the dog.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

18.
We want to be first; not first if, not first but; but first!
Kennedy, John F.

19.
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

20.
No wise combatant underestimates their antagonist.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

21.
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.
Aragon, Vicky

22.
He can run but he can't hide.
Louis, Joe

23.
There are two kinds of people: Those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group because there is less competition there.
Gandhi, Indira

24.
Competition is the whetstone of talent.
Saying

25.
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

26.
When you fear a foe, fear crushes your strength; and this weakness gives strength to your opponents.
Shakespeare, William

27.
So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.
Morris, William

28.
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

29.
How can they beat me? I've been struck by lightning, had two back operations, and been divorced twice.
Trevino, Lee

30.
You find that you have peace of mind and can enjoy yourself, get more sleep, and rest when you know that it was a one hundred percent effort that you gave -- win or lose.
Howe, Gordie

31.
And what is the greatest number? Number one.
Hume, David

32.
If you make every game a life and death proposition, you're going to have problems. For one thing, you'll be dead a lot.
Smith, Dean
