When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough.
Ayrton SennaYou 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 GreeneThe purpose of a vacation is to have the time to rest. But many of us, even when we go on vacation, don’t know how to rest. We may even come back more tired than before we left.

Alice MunroWhen you are in any contest, you should work as if there were – to the very last minute – a chance to lose it. This is battle, this is politics, this is anything.

Benjamin DisraeliI’d love to go into WWE and have a real knock and see what’s what.
Conor McGregorAt United, there are great traditions, which you can’t buy in one or two years. They are created by victories. You need to prove again and again that you are better than the others. Manchester United have always done this, and are still doing it, so they are the best.
Cristiano RonaldoBecome slower in your journey through life. Practice yoga and meditation if you suffer from ‚hurry sickness.‘ Become more introspective by visiting quiet places such as churches, museums, mountains and lakes. Give yourself permission to read at least one novel a month for pleasure.
Wayne DyerBattle 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.
George S. PattonLike every man of sense and good feeling, I abominate work.
Aldous HuxleyAnd 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.

George BestMy belief is that we were put into this world of wonders and beauty with a special ability to appreciate them, in some cases to have the fun of taking a hand in developing them, and also in being able to help other people instead of overreaching them and, through it all, to enjoy life – that is, to be happy.
Robert Baden-PowellThese young guys are playing checkers. I’m out there playing chess.

Ruth Bader GinsburgI seen a lot of artists be hot for a minute, and then that’s it, and somebody else come in.
Nipsey HussleThat summer after the draft was probably the most fun I’ve ever had, because all I had to do every day was wake up and go work out for four or five hours. I got to play some golf, which I love to do, too, and then got to hang out with my family.
Stephen CurryThat’s what you live for as a sportsman. You have to put up a fight.

J. K. RowlingLeisure and curiosity might soon make great advances in useful knowledge, were they not diverted by minute emulation and laborious trifles.

Elon MuskI’m a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.
Matthew McConaugheyThe United States has to move very fast to even stand still.
John F. KennedyIt is piracy, not overt online music stores, which is our main competitor.
Steve JobsWithout 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 ChhetriFacebook is in a very different place than Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, and Microsoft. We are trying to build a community.
Mark ZuckerbergThat’s a traditional Samoan dance. I was lucky that I was able to fly my cousins, who are professional dancers, up from Hawaii and they were able to be in the movie with me. We had a great time.
Dwayne JohnsonAs more airlines consolidated and grew larger and more focused on the bottom line, flying in the U.S. became an awful experience. Despite moves to block our airline from flying, Virgin America began service in August 2007 – with the goal of making flying good again.
Richard BransonI 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 SennaThere is always room for losers in the football business. They are the mother’s milk of gambling, and why not? Somebody has to do it, or there won’t be any winners.
Hunter S. ThompsonI’d love to date somebody cool, fun, funny.
RihannaThere have been so many great players that I’ve played with, that I’ve played against over the years.
Tom BradyAmbition must be made to counteract ambition.
James MadisonI won at every level – all the way since I started playing the game of basketball at nine. I’ve won at every level, won championships at every level. And, you know, it won’t be fulfilled until I win at the highest level.
LeBron JamesTime you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
John LennonEventually, all companies are replaced.
Bill GatesI went through a period when I felt my film characters were having more fun than I was. It might partly explain why I ended up tattooed or doing certain extreme things in my life.
Angelina JolieIt’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 CurryOnce people are aware of your presence, and perhaps vaguely intrigued, you need to stir their interest before it settles on someone else.
Robert GreeneIt 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 BellI’m trying to get to Mars before everyone else.
The WeekndI find capitalism repugnant. It is filthy, it is gross, it is alienating… because it causes war, hypocrisy and competition.
Fidel CastroGod is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.
