if you gone come in second, you're just the first loser!
I don't like being compared to anyone or being in a class with someone. I'm a teen actress and therefore I'm competing against Hilary Duff. We're different people like everyone else.
Sanka Coffie: I'm the driver. Irv: You're not. You're the brakeman. Sanka Coffie: You don't understand, I am Sanka Coffie, I am the best pushcart driver in all of Jamaica! I must drive! Do you dig where I'm coming from? Irv: Yeah, I dig where you're coming from. Sanka Coffie: Good. Irv: Now dig where I'm coming from. I'm coming from two gold medals. I'm coming from nine world records in both the two- and four-man events. I'm coming from ten years of intense competition with the best athletes in the world. Sanka Coffie: That's a hell of a place to be coming from!
Chloe: Look. This competition is very important to me. It's not a play to play thing. It's a play to win thing.
[during TV interview with band] Lenny Haise: Oh, I'm not here with these fellas. I've got a pig in competition over at the livestock pavilion, and I am going to win that blue ribbon!
Lucy Hill: [conversation at dinner table] Industrial competition in a free-market economy is what built this country. Ted Mitchell: No, robber barons built this country, and they did it from the blood of working folks. Hell, you steal somebody's car, you get thrown in jail, you steal somebody's life savings, you get to be a CEO. Lucy Hill: I'm planning on being a CEO. Ted Mitchell: Well, Blanche, you better count the silverware before she leaves, then. Lucy Hill: Oh, don't bother, I'm leaving now. Ted Mitchell: Not if I leave first. [both get up to leave together]
Sondra Terry: My father made money, my brothers make money, and you are somehow too pure. You're too pure to compete. Mike Terry: It... Sondra Terry: Weakens the fighter? Mike Terry: That's right. Sondra Terry: Because a competition is not a fight. Mike Terry: That's correct. Sondra Terry: And what about the fighter's family, Mike? What do they eat, while he's being so pure?
Anyone who imagines they can work alone winds up surrounded by nothing but rivals, without companions. The fact is, no one ascends alone.
Billie Offer: Why do you like it so much? Is it the money? Huck Cheever: The money's just a way of keeping score. Poker is competition in the purest sense. Doesn't mater who you are or what you are; everybody's equal at the table.
I've worked with people and I've known people that were really competitive but I've always said that I take an Elizabeth Bennett philosophy of life - I laugh. I love my job but if it means hurting someone I won't do it.
If you're not gonna go all the way, why go at all?
Huo Yuan Jia: Poison works very quickly. It has worked its way to my heart... Zhensheng, promise me you won't seek revenge. Revenge will only bring us more bloodshed. Please, that's not what I want. We must strive to become triumphant... Nong Jinsun, I only understand wushu. I practiced for many years to understand what Wushu is, what is wushu's real purpose. The competition must continue. One cannot choose how one's life begins. It takes courage to finish the final step.
Sean: Hey, Gerry, In the 1960s there was a young man that graduated from the University of Michigan. Did some brilliant work in mathematics. Specifically bounded harmonic functions. Then he went on to Berkeley. He was assistant professor. Showed amazing potential. Then he moved to Montana, and blew the competition away. Lambeau: Yeah, so who was he? Sean: Ted Kaczynski. Lambeau: Haven't heard of him. Sean: [yelling to the bartender] Hey, Timmy! Timmy: Yo. Sean: Who's Ted Kaczynski? Timmy: Unabomber. [Lambeau winces as he realizes the point Sean is making]
Law is made by the winner to preserve victory over the loser.
[There] are people who make a complete and utter mockery of 'democracy' and 'equality' - they're the casualties of the primitive rules of competition which run our society, and the welfare state just keeps them alive. That's all.
Jealousy is love in competition.
Homo economicus was surreptitiously taken as the emblem and analogue for all living beings. A mechanistic anthropomorphism has gained currency. Bacteria are imagined to mimic
Real learning comes about when the competitive spirit has ceased.
