I’m proud of ‚Stop Making Sense,‘ but it’s a little bit of an albatross; I can’t compete with it, but I can’t ignore it either.

A passionate belief in your business and personal objectives can make all the difference between success and failure. If you aren’t proud of what you’re doing, why should anybody else be?

Pride is still aiming at the best houses: Men would be angels, angels would be gods. Aspiring to be gods, if angels fell; aspiring to be angels men rebel.

I am sure as everyone knows that I am not the happiest if I don’t do a good job in qualifying or the race.

Serious sport is war minus the shooting.

Pride is an independent, me-oriented spirit. It makes people arrogant, rude and hard to get along with. When our heart is prideful, we don’t give God the credit and we mistreat people, looking down on them and thinking we deserve what we have.

It’s rule number one, really – beating your teammate.

And 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.

Issues are never simple. One thing I’m proud of is that very rarely will you hear me simplify the issues.

Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he’s losing; nobody wants you to quit when you’re ahead.

I think the positive competition between states in India is one of the most positive dynamics that the country has.

As long as I am playing competitive football I am happy.

We want to play the AFC Cup every year.

I’d love to go into WWE and have a real knock and see what’s what.

If I’d married someone in show business, there’d be too much competition.

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

I felt like, for so many years – and I still even feel it – as a girl, you can’t really expect to go on stage and dress like a boy and jump around and scream with the audience and mosh and stuff, and every time that happens, I feel really proud.

I guess for every driver the aim is to beat their teammate.

We know that the nation that goes all-in on innovation today will own the global economy tomorrow. This is an edge America cannot surrender.

Bad food is made without pride, by cooks who have no pride, and no love. Bad food is made by chefs who are indifferent, or who are trying to be everything to everybody, who are trying to please everyone… Bad food is fake food… food that shows fear and lack of confidence in people’s ability to discern or to make decisions about their lives.

We are America, second to none, and we own the finish line. Don’t forget it.

He didn’t come out of my belly, but my God, I’ve made his bones, because I’ve attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I’m so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.

It 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.

In an individual sport, yes, you have to win titles. Baseball’s different. But basketball, hockey? One person can control the tempo of a game, can completely alter the momentum of a series. There’s a lot of great individual talent.

Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?

I am really proud that I am one of the artists that has the opportunity to be on magazine covers and to be in the movies.

Competition is a sin.

Some people want to win races. Other people want to be President of the United States.

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.

I played a great horse yesterday! It took seven horses to beat him.

Nothing is ever done beautifully which is done in rivalship: or nobly, which is done in pride.

There’s many ups and downs in the fight game.

I find capitalism repugnant. It is filthy, it is gross, it is alienating… because it causes war, hypocrisy and competition.

Every day, the people I meet inspire me… every day, they make me proud… every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth.

I certainly would not like to end up in a tie-up with Ms. Rousey.

I was poor white trash, no glitter, no glamour, but I’m not ashamed of anything.

All these walls that keep us from loving each other as one family or one race – racism, religion, where we grew up, whatever, class, socioeconomic – what makes us be so selfish and prideful, what keeps us from wanting to help the next man, what makes us be so focused on a personal legacy as opposed to the entire legacy of a race.

The more players I have, the more difficult choices there are for me, but the better it is for LFC.

Obviously everybody, if you’re playing in the league, you’ve got to have somewhat of an ego about how you play the game.

I am impelled, not to squeak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession.

The deepest desire of the human spirit is to be acknowledged.

Is pride, the never-failing vice of fools.

Send forth the child and childish man together, and blush for the pride that libels our own old happy state, and gives its title to an ugly and distorted image.

I don’t know anything that builds the will to win better than competitive sports.

Winning the title in England is the biggest challenge of them all.

I was a little worried that young people would think the only game was being political and manipulative when really the bigger game is being so good at what you do that nobody can argue with your results.

Marathon running, like golf, is a game for players, not winners. That is why Callaway sells golf clubs and Nike sells running shoes. But running is unique in that the world’s best racers are on the same course, at the same time, as amateurs, who have as much chance of winning as your average weekend warrior would scoring a touchdown in the NFL.

If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.

The first rule is not to lose. The second rule is not to forget the first rule.

Do your job. Do it the best you can. Do it right, because somebody, sometimes your best friend, is waiting for you to screw up so she can take your place.

My wife thinks she’s better than me at puzzles. I haven’t given in on that one yet.

We 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.

I started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn’t.

One thing about ‚Star Wars‘ that I’m really proud of is that it expands the imagination. That’s why I like the ‚Star Wars‘ toys.

The healthiest competition occurs when average people win by putting above average effort.

Self-centered indulgence, pride and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American lifestyle.

I’m trying to get to Mars before everyone else.

What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn’t think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.

The competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all, but goes on making his own business better all the time.

It’s OK for China to invent cancer drugs that cure patients in the United States. We want them to catch up. But as the leader, we want to keep setting a very, very high standard. We don’t want them to catch up because we’re slowing down or, even worse, going into reverse.

My biggest competitor was my mum. I used to try to beat her at Chinese chequers, chess, carrom, volleyball, badminton, football, wrestling.
