Best Quotes about Competition
When you step onto that field, you cannot concede a thing.
Sayers, Gayle
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.

Proverb, Italian
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
When you're riding, only the race in which you're riding is important.
Shoemaker, Willie

Anderson, Greg
Everybody pulls for David, nobody roots for Goliath.
Chamberlain, Wilt

Brock, Lou
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.

Smith, Dean
A horse never runs so fast as when he has other horses to catch up and outpace.
Ovid
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
Competitions are for horse, not artist.
Bartok, Bela

Abdul-Jabbar, Kareem
I don't psyche myself up. I psyche myself down. I think clearer when I'm not psyched up.
Cauthen, Steve
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.
