I don’t like to be bored.
John KennedyI played a great horse yesterday! It took seven horses to beat him.
Henny YoungmanIn 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 GatesIf you’re serious, you really understand that it’s important that you laugh as much as possible and admit that you’re the funniest person you ever met. You have to laugh. Admit that you’re funny. Otherwise, you die in solemnity.
Maya AngelouCompetition is not only the basis of protection to the consumer, but is the incentive to progress.
Herbert HooverGod is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.
VoltaireIf 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 MuskI love to go to the zoo. But not on Sunday. I don’t like to see the people making fun of the animals, when it should be the other way around.
Ernest HemingwayI have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn’t know how to get along without it.
Walt DisneyEvery 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 BransonA good boxing competition gives one the sight of fine men in their prime, trained to the ounce, showing the highest skill, pluck and endurance in carrying out their attack and defence under strict rules of fair play and good temper.
Robert Baden-PowellThe 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.

Douglas AdamsTo make America the greatest is my goal, so I beat the Russian and I beat the Pole. And for the U.S.A. won the medal of gold. The Greeks said, ‚You’re better than the Cassius of old.‘
Muhammad AliNo matter how beautiful a woman might be, you’re always threatened by certain… You’re always threatened by other women, period.
Dolly PartonI never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It’s more fun to come to Paris.
Karl LagerfeldI’m a fighter, I’m a winner, and I’m not interested in just battling my team-mate for the back of the grid.
Lando NorrisAs long as I am playing competitive football I am happy.
Sunil ChhetriThere have been so many great players that I’ve played with, that I’ve played against over the years.

Charles BukowskiAll through my writing life, I’ve had this impulse to write autobiographical works.
Paul AusterThat 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 CurryFirst you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.
F. Scott FitzgeraldSince the very beginning, Emeril’s had a sense of humor about me calling him names and poking fun at him.

Lando NorrisHow you played in yesterday’s game is all that counts.
Jackie RobinsonAlmost anything can be funny if said the right way – but it has to be said the right way.
Kevin HartThere is something special which rides on a game between Liverpool and United.
Jurgen KloppThat’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 JohnsonMen are rather reasoning than reasonable animals, for the most part governed by the impulse of passion.
Alexander HamiltonDo your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed – there’s so little competition.
Elbert HubbardToday was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.
Dr. SeussI certainly would not like to end up in a tie-up with Ms. Rousey.
Conor McGregorWe all started playing football against our best friends, and I can’t remember a moment where, because it was my best friend, I did not want to win against him.
Jurgen KloppHe shines in the second rank, who is eclipsed in the first.
VoltaireLook at the world. There is no pure competitor to the United States of America.
Colin PowellWhat 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.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerSome of the furor that surrounded a Harry Potter publication was fun.
J. K. RowlingI 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 NorrisMy friends and I had fun together, but I was more reserved, not at all the life of the party. I would just be the quiet one in the room.
Joel OsteenThe community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.
William JamesSome people think literature is high culture and that it should only have a small readership. I don’t think so… I have to compete with popular culture, including TV, magazines, movies and video games.
Haruki MurakamiYou just do what you can and you have as much fun as possible.
Frank OceanDerbies are always difficult to play because you have to handle the pressure. There’s no advantage or disadvantage for either side.
Jurgen KloppTo me, being the best means proving it in different countries and championships.
Cristiano RonaldoWhen 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.
Dwight D. EisenhowerI think we’re having fun. I think our customers really like our products. And we’re always trying to do better.
Steve JobsApple’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 like to have fun all the time, even if I’m working.
Tom BradyWhat is Champions League level? I saw a lot of rubbish games at Champions League level.
Jurgen KloppYou make ‚em, I amuse ‚em.
Dr. SeussI will fight in many weight divisions.
Conor McGregorI’m a pretty good winner. I’m a terrible loser. And I rub it in pretty good when I win.
Tom BradyAs 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 BransonIt’s much more fun to play something you’re nothing like than what you are… It’s much easier to hide yourself in a character.
Clint EastwoodThere are a lot of inaccuracies out there when it comes to the SEAL training process. You will see guys carrying logs around on television. They think that the hardest part about being on a SEAL team is getting through that training. The fact of the matter is, if you have a good attitude, that training is fun. I had a blast.
Jocko WillinkThe writing is important, but the way you say the line and the pause you give it, the facial expression – all of that is very important.
Arnold Schwarzenegger‚The Simpsons‘ appearances were great fun. But I don’t take them too seriously. I think ‚The Simpsons‘ have treated my disability responsibly.
Stephen HawkingIn the absence of sound oversight, responsible businesses are forced to compete against unscrupulous and underhanded businesses, who are unencumbered by any restrictions on activities that might harm the environment, or take advantage of middle-class families, or threaten to bring down the entire financial system.
Barack ObamaYou 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 Greene
