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
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
Racing is a matter of spirit not strength.
Guthrie, Janet
Competitions are for horse, not artist.
Bartok, Bela
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 fear a foe, fear crushes your strength; and this weakness gives strength to your opponents.
Shakespeare, William
