The whole competition thing disturbs me. Not that I wasn't a part of it when I first started.

I ride my horse at competition level.

I had been offered fellowships to enter as a graduate student at either Harvard or Princeton. But the Princeton fellowship was somewhat more generous, since I had not actually won the Putnam competition... Thus Princeton became the choice for my graduate study location.

I have some women friends but I prefer men. Don't trust women. There is a built-in competition between women.

America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.

The kind of society which we still have is maybe, in some cases, getting worse. Competition is becoming a virtue. Intense competition drives people to go more and more into self-interest. Even to see other folks as competition.

Competition is such a virtue, and everybody's so busy competing, they have no time for compassion.

Olympics is global competition in which eighty, ninety, hundred, hundred and ten countries participate.

The team which I led to the 1992 European Championship Finals is the only one in the history of the entire competition to have won every single one of its qualifying matches.

During such a competition players are there for a long time as well as all the people around them. They need to train, to eat, to go out. There ought to be something in it for everyone. On that particular point, my experience has been a bonus.

Well, it's still another two-day competition, so it's really important to show that you're ready. Every meet is really important right now. You've got to keep showing you can hit.

I think we all have had better days in competition.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.

A merchant who approaches business with the idea of serving the public well has nothing to fear from the competition.

Competition can be the most nerve-racking experience. Some people just thrive on it.
