I think the positive competition between states in India is one of the most positive dynamics that the country has.
Bill GatesMine is better than ours.
Benjamin FranklinHe shines in the second rank, who is eclipsed in the first.
VoltaireWe’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 ZuckerbergOne must be an inventor to read well. There is then creative reading as well as creative writing.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIn this industry, there’s a lot of cases of being a competitor in one way, but you’re often a customer and a vendor in another way. It’s not atypical in aerospace. Actually, it’s not that atypical in a lot of industries.
Jeff BezosThe great advantage of a hotel is that it is a refuge from home life.
George Bernard ShawGod is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.
VoltaireWhen you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough.
Ayrton SennaIt is the greatest of all advantages to enjoy no advantage at all.
Henry David ThoreauI’m an inventor.
Lady GagaThe Massachusetts Institute of Technology accepts blacks in the top ten percent of students, but at MIT this puts them in the bottom ten percent of the class.
Thomas SowellI certainly would not like to end up in a tie-up with Ms. Rousey.
Conor McGregorI never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.
PlatoI’ve always said the one advantage an actor has of converting to a director is that he’s been in front of the camera. He doesn’t have to get in front of the camera again, subliminally or otherwise.
Clint EastwoodWhat religion a man holds, to what race he belongs, these things are not important; the really important thing is this knowledge: the knowledge of God’s plan for men. For God has a plan, and that plan is evolution.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiEvery successful businessman will have experienced set-backs and failures – they’re lying if they say they haven’t. Virgin has had some tremendously successful businesses and some that have not quite worked out. Virgin Cola springs to mind – the product wasn’t distinct enough from Coca-Cola.
Richard BransonApple’s market share is bigger than BMW’s or Mercedes’s or Porsche’s in the automotive market. What’s wrong with being BMW or Mercedes?
Steve JobsI have thought there was some advantage even in death, by which we mingle with the herd of common men.
Henry David ThoreauMy wife thinks she’s better than me at puzzles. I haven’t given in on that one yet.
Bill GatesI will fight in many weight divisions.
Conor McGregorThe 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 FordMarathon 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.
Hunter S. ThompsonBaseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended.
George Bernard ShawThe true competitors, though, are the ones who always play to win.
Tom BradyKeeping score is for games, not friendships.
John C. MaxwellCapitalism knows only one color: that color is green; all else is necessarily subservient to it, hence, race, gender and ethnicity cannot be considered within it.
Thomas SowellYou will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.
Ayrton SennaAre we a nation that educates the world’s best and brightest in our universities, only to send them home to create businesses in countries that compete against us? Or are we a nation that encourages them to stay and create jobs, businesses, and industries right here in America?
Barack ObamaThere 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 GinsburgIf 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 LamarIf the battle for civilization comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are going to win.
Thomas SowellAntitrust is the way that the government promotes markets when there are market failures. It has nothing to do with the idea of free information.
Bill GatesEventually, all companies are replaced.
Bill GatesI love going one-on-one with someone. That’s what I do. I’ve never lost. It’s a whole different game, just to have them right in front of you and be able to do whatever you want.
Kobe BryantI have no interest in gender or race or anything like that. But everyone else is kind of, with their calculating – is this the exact right mix? I think that’s – to me it’s anti-comedy. It’s more about PC-nonsense.
Jerry SeinfeldDifference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor – over each other.
Thomas JeffersonIf you’re entering anything where there’s an existing marketplace, against large, entrenched competitors, then your product or service needs to be much better than theirs. It can’t be a little bit better, because then you put yourself in the shoes of the consumer… you’re always going to buy the trusted brand unless there’s a big difference.
Elon MuskAll of us have been trained by education and environment to seek personal gain and security and to fight for ourselves. Though we cover it over with pleasant phrases, we have been educated for various professions within a system which is based on exploitation and acquisitive fear.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiOften people become our friend or follower with an undercurrent of resentment in our having more success than they have. They secretly desire the opportunity to take us down a notch; they have a nose for any misstep on our part they can exploit.
Robert GreeneAnd 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 CarnegieIf I’d married someone in show business, there’d be too much competition.
Dolly PartonOne is lucky to be born in a place where no one is doing it, because then you can say, ‚Well, obviously I can write better than everyone else in high school.‘ You have no idea of the competition.
Alice MunroI am sure as everyone knows that I am not the happiest if I don’t do a good job in qualifying or the race.
Lando NorrisI’m a pretty good winner. I’m a terrible loser. And I rub it in pretty good when I win.
Tom BradyIn England, when an athlete gets to the top, we do our best to destroy him.
George BestYou cannot talk about race without talking about privilege. And when people start talking about privilege, they get paralyzed by shame.
Brene BrownMan who invented the hamburger was smart; man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius.
Matthew McConaugheyIt is not, of course, complete yet – but some sentences were understood this afternoon… I feel that I have at last struck the solution of a great problem – and the day is coming when telegraph wires will be laid onto houses just like water or gas – and friends converse with each other without leaving home.
Alexander Graham BellIn England, an inventor is regarded almost as a crazy man, and in too many instances, invention ends in disappointment and poverty. In America, an inventor is honoured, help is forthcoming, and the exercise of ingenuity, the application of science to the work of man, is there the shortest road to wealth.
Oscar WildeBarack Obama would not be President if he were dark skin. You know what I mean? That’s just the truth. I might not be as successful as I am now if I was dark skin.
J. ColeMy first win feels better than a draw!
Jurgen KloppCommodities such as gold and silver have a world market that transcends national borders, politics, religions, and race. A person may not like someone else’s religion, but he’ll accept his gold.
Robert KiyosakiWe’ve always had a pretty competitive and pretty ferocious battle with British Airways… It’s lasted now about 14 years, and we’re very pleased to have survived it.
Richard BransonI’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 SeinfeldWhen Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas lamp or candle. I’m sure it made the work seem that much more urgent.
George CarlinHuman subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous.
Leonardo da VinciThere are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write truly rather than assume the presumption of altering them with invention.
Ernest HemingwayWisdom I know is social. She seeks her fellows. But Beauty is jealous, and illy bears the presence of a rival.
Thomas JeffersonI have always felt it is my destiny to build a machine that would allow man to fly.
Leonardo da Vinci
