When you can whip any man in the world, you never know peace.

Lady GagaIn England, when an athlete gets to the top, we do our best to destroy him.
George BestPeople just don’t understand how obsessed I am with winning.
Kobe BryantMen rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others.

Bill ShanklyNo matter how beautiful a woman might be, you’re always threatened by certain… You’re always threatened by other women, period.
Dolly PartonThe man who can dominate a London dinner-table can dominate the world.
Oscar WildeI can hold my own when it comes to burping. I’ve got a good feeling that I could win a championship.
Dwayne JohnsonI have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn’t know how to get along without it.
Walt DisneyIn the long run, your human capital is your main base of competition. Your leading indicator of where you’re going to be 20 years from now is how well you’re doing in your education system.
Bill GatesAs long as I am playing competitive football I am happy.
Sunil ChhetriI’ve done a number of Super Bowl ads. And that is the best advertising of the year. That is when people realize they’re going to be compared directly against other ads.
Jerry SeinfeldThe more players I have, the more difficult choices there are for me, but the better it is for LFC.
Jurgen KloppOnce people are aware of your presence, and perhaps vaguely intrigued, you need to stir their interest before it settles on someone else.
Robert GreeneThe female loves to play man against man. And if she is in a position to do it, there is not one who will resist.
Charles BukowskiWe came up with TDE. As competitive as rap is, and as much as we’re trying to exceed the standards we set for ourselves, we take their wins as our wins, too.
Nipsey HussleEventually, all companies are replaced.
Bill GatesRule number one is: Beat your team-mate.
Lando NorrisThere are some singers that know exactly when to go, and others hang on much too long and that is the same, that is the same with judges.
Ruth Bader GinsburgI enjoy competition. I enjoy challenges. If a challenge is in front of me and it appeals to me, I will go ahead and conquer it.
Conor McGregorIt is necessary for me to establish a winner image. Therefore, I have to beat somebody.
Richard M. NixonLet advertisers spend the same amount of money improving their product that they do on advertising and they wouldn’t have to advertise it.
Will RogersLook at the world. There is no pure competitor to the United States of America.
Colin PowellThe thing that’s been really surprising about the evolution of Facebook is – I think then, and I think now – that if we didn’t do this, someone else would have done it.
Mark ZuckerbergAnyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.
Eleanor RooseveltBut Apple really beats to a different drummer. I used to say that Apple should be the Sony of this business, but in reality, I think Apple should be the Apple of this business.
Steve JobsWe’re not going to go 82-0 and blow everybody out. We are going to be challenged.
Stephen CurryAs soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher’s mound. It was as if I’d been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.
Babe RuthIt’s no secret that we were sticking just about every nickel we had on the chance that people would really be interested in something totally new and unique in the field of entertainment.
Walt DisneyMy biggest competitor was my mum. I used to try to beat her at Chinese chequers, chess, carrom, volleyball, badminton, football, wrestling.
Sunil ChhetriI’m a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.
Matthew McConaugheyI am sure as everyone knows that I am not the happiest if I don’t do a good job in qualifying or the race.

Abby Lee MillerIf you are a small company taking on a big company, you need to have a sense of humor.
Richard BransonAnd you know, I’ve had great fun turning quite a lot of different industries on their head and making sure those industries will never be the same again, because Virgin went in and took them on.
Richard BransonIf you have 50 different plug types, appliances wouldn’t be available and would be very expensive. But once an electric outlet becomes standardized, many companies can design appliances, and competition ensues, creating variety and better prices for consumers.
Bill GatesYou must keep raising this game to higher and higher levels, as on the pool table – mastering eventually the psychological angles. Your playing is a pleasure, all the way to the end, to death, when the game is over.
Robert GreeneMy goal is to be number one in MMA.
Conor McGregorAmbition must be made to counteract ambition.
James MadisonIt is a neck-and-neck race between Mr. Gray and myself who shall complete our apparatus first. He has the advantage over me in being a practical electrician – but I have reason to believe that I am better acquainted with the phenomena of sound than he is – so that I have an advantage there.
Alexander Graham BellEducation levels the playing field, allowing everyone to compete.
Joyce MeyerThe state of the economy is not the issue when it comes to growing a business. The relevant questions are always: ‚What business are you in? Furthermore, is it adapting to the times?‘
Robert KiyosakiThose who have a true understanding of America know that we have no desire for territorial expansion, for economic or other domination of other peoples. Such purposes are repugnant to our ideals of human freedom.
Herbert HooverThere is something special which rides on a game between Liverpool and United.
Jurgen KloppYou will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.
Ayrton SennaWithout sounding biased, 70 days of football is not enough. Even if Messi plays 70 days he cannot be in the national team. You need to play around the year to be in contention for the national team.
Sunil ChhetriWe are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
John F. KennedyThe competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all, but goes on making his own business better all the time.
Henry FordAnd while the law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department.
Andrew CarnegieThe first rule is not to lose. The second rule is not to forget the first rule.
Warren BuffettThe more the division of labor and the application of machinery extend, the more does competition extend among the workers, the more do their wages shrink together.
Karl MarxIt’s really annoying for me. That’s not what I’m playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron’s throne or whatever.
Stephen CurryI was already on pole, then by half a second and then one second and I just kept going. Suddenly I was nearly two seconds faster than anybody else, including my team mate with the same car.
Ayrton SennaI don’t think it’s a good idea to plan to sell a company.
Elon MuskI certainly would not like to end up in a tie-up with Ms. Rousey.
Conor McGregorIf you are surrounded by your competition and you are outworking these people, outmaneuvering these people, it’s hard not to let your confidence take over. It just builds and builds and builds.
Conor McGregorWe’re very focused on making News Feed really good, making our photos experience really good, making messaging really good, and creating great location apps. That’s the nature of a platform business of our scale. Most companies that are relevant to us will have some overlaps in some competitive way.
Mark ZuckerbergIf I’d married someone in show business, there’d be too much competition.
Dolly Parton
