Motivational Quotes
Competition
Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed -- there's so little competition.
Best Quotes about Competition
I consider myself one of a very small handful of drivers in the world that are top drivers. The best one? I don't think anybody can say they're the best one because, from one week to the next, you can be on form or off form a little bit.
Mansell, Nigel
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
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
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
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
Most games are lost, not won.
Stengel, Casey
Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
Shakespeare, William
I don't psyche myself up. I psyche myself down. I think clearer when I'm not psyched up.
Cauthen, Steve
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
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
When the game is over it is really just beginning.
Kramer, Jerry
Once you're physically capable of winning a gold medal, the rest is ninety percent mental.
Johnson, Patti
I ski to win. When the day comes that I can't get myself into a fighting mood anymore, I won't be able to win and I'll stop racing.
Stenmark, Ingemar
No wise combatant underestimates their antagonist.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
How can we hope to remain economically competitive in a world in which... 90% of Dutch high-school students take advanced math courses and 100% of teachers in Germany have double majors, while the best we can say about our pocket of excellence is that 75% of [American] students have learned to critique tactfully?
Alexander, Barbara J.
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.
Competitions are for horse, not artist.
Bartok, Bela
Competition is the whetstone of talent.
Saying
I play [golf] with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.
Hogan, Ben
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 game isn't over until it's over.
Berra, Yogi
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
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
After the game the King and pawn go into the same box.
Proverb, Italian
The medals don't mean anything and the glory doesn't last. It's all about your happiness. The rewards are going to come, but my happiness is just loving the sport and having fun performing.
Kersee, Jackie Joyner
Show me a guy who is afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time.
Brock, Lou
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
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
When you step onto that field, you cannot concede a thing.
Sayers, Gayle
Men often compete with one another until the day they die; comradeship consists of rubbing shoulders jocularly with a competitor.
Hoagland, Edward
Competition is the spice of sports; but if you make spice the whole meal you'll be sick.
Leonard, George
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
We want to be first; not first if, not first but; but first!
Kennedy, John F.
When you're riding, only the race in which you're riding is important.
Shoemaker, Willie
We have a lot of players in their first year. Some of them are also in their last year.
Walsh, Bill
Hail Caesar, those who are about to die salute you.
Gladiator's Salute
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
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
Everybody pulls for David, nobody roots for Goliath.
Chamberlain, Wilt
Man is a gaming animal. He must always be trying to get the better in something or other.
Lamb, Charles
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
Mental toughness is to physical as four is to one.
Knight, Bobby
It has meant a lot to me to challenge the best players in the world and to beat them. And it means a lot to me to be out here and fighting for the title and, you know, it hurts not to win it.
Agassi, Andre
In this game, by trying to win; you automatically lose.
Ross, Ruth
These are the days when it takes all you've got just to keep up with the losers.
Orpen, Robert
Running for money doesn't make you run fast. It makes you run first.
Jipcho, Ben
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
If football taught me anything about business, it is that you win the game one play at a time.
Tarkenton, Fran
I watch a man shoot pool for an hour. If he misses more than one shot I know I can beat him.
Lassiter, Luther
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
