Michelle ObamaThese young guys are playing checkers. I’m out there playing chess.
Kobe BryantAccept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.
George S. PattonTrue contentment is a thing as active as agriculture. It is the power of getting out of any situation all that there is in it. It is arduous and it is rare.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.
Thomas JeffersonUneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
William ShakespeareAmerica 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.

Jean-Paul SartreThe potential financial reward for building the ‚next Windows‘ is so great that there will never be a shortage of new technologies seeking to challenge it.
Bill GatesI think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game. And if it’s a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table.
Taylor SwiftEven though I had won in other categories, I didn’t have any expectations when I came into F1. Qualifying fifth, finishing sixth? I didn’t expect it.

Lucius Annaeus SenecaWe’re not going to go 82-0 and blow everybody out. We are going to be challenged.
Stephen CurryWomen deeply want men who are competent and powerful. And I don’t mean power in that they can exert tyrannical control over others. That’s not power. That’s just corruption.
Jordan PetersonWhen we are thinking about stuff like embeds, we are not thinking about how we are competing with YouTube. We are thinking about how are we going to make it more useful for people to share stuff on Facebook.

Benjamin DisraeliI came, I saw, I conquered.
Julius CaesarOne of the most basic factors in sports is that winning becomes a habit, and losing is the same way. When failure starts to feel normal in your life or your work or even your darkest vices, you won’t have to go looking for trouble, because trouble will find you. Count on it.
Hunter S. ThompsonWin as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.

Walt DisneyLife is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.
Bertrand RussellThere is no victory at bargain basement prices.
Dwight D. EisenhowerIf my edge is dull, my sword is dull, and I don’t want to fight another guy whose sword is dull. If you’ve got two steel swords going back and forth hitting each other, what’s gonna happen? Both of them are going to get sharper. Everybody that’s in the industry has lost their edge.
Kendrick LamarThere have been so many great players that I’ve played with, that I’ve played against over the years.
Tom BradyI guess for every driver the aim is to beat their teammate.
Lando NorrisMarch is a month without mercy for rabid basketball fans. There is no such thing as a ‚gentleman gambler‘ when the Big Dance rolls around. All sheep will be fleeced, all fools will be punished severely… There are no Rules when the deal goes down in the final weeks of March. Even your good friends will turn into monsters.
Hunter S. ThompsonWhen you are winning a war almost everything that happens can be claimed to be right and wise.

Sunil ChhetriIt kills me to lose. If I’m a troublemaker, and I don’t think that my temper makes me one, then it’s because I can’t stand losing. That’s the way I am about winning, all I ever wanted to do was finish first.
Jackie RobinsonIt is more agreeable to have the power to give than to receive.
Winston ChurchillLet us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.
Franklin D. RooseveltMy wife thinks she’s better than me at puzzles. I haven’t given in on that one yet.
Bill GatesThose who hate you don’t win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.
Richard M. NixonReputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once it slips, however, you are vulnerable, and will be attacked on all sides. Make your reputation unassailable.
