Competition Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Competition

1.
I worked very hard. I felt I could play the game. The only thing that could stop me was myself.
Abbott, Jim

2.
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

3.
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

4.
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.

5.
Win or lose, do it fairly.
Rockne, Knute

6.
Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed -- there's so little competition.
Hubbard, Elbert

7.
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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
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

11.
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

12.
Racing is a matter of spirit not strength.
Guthrie, Janet

13.
The biggest things are often the easiest to do because there is so little competition.
Horne, William Van

14.
Once you're physically capable of winning a gold medal, the rest is ninety percent mental.
Johnson, Patti

15.
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

16.
The only competition worthy a wise man is with himself.
Jamieson, Mrs.

17.
Surely the best way to meet the enemy is head on in the field and not wait till they plunder our very homes.
Goldsmith, Oliver

18.
Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
Shakespeare, William

19.
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

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

21.
I don't psyche myself up. I psyche myself down. I think clearer when I'm not psyched up.
Cauthen, Steve

22.
We have a lot of players in their first year. Some of them are also in their last year.
Walsh, Bill

23.
Show me a guy who is afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time.
Brock, Lou

24.
And what is the greatest number? Number one.
Hume, David

25.
Competitions are for horse, not artist.
Bartok, Bela

26.
These are the days when it takes all you've got just to keep up with the losers.
Orpen, Robert

27.
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

28.
I play [golf] with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.
Hogan, Ben

29.
There is nothing noble in being superior to some other person. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.
Proverb, Indian

30.
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

31.
The ability to learn faster than your competitors may be the only sustainable competitive advantage.
Geus, Arie de

32.
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

33.
You get out in front -- you stay out in front.
Foyt, A. J.

34.
Somebody will always break your records. It is how you live that counts.
Campbell, Earl

35.
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

36.
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.

Tarkenton, Fran

41.
When the game is over it is really just beginning.
Kramer, Jerry

42.
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

43.
The key to any game is to use your strengths and hide your weaknesses.
