Competition is not only the basis of protection to the consumer, but is the incentive to progress.
HERBERT HOOVER, State of the Union Address, December 2, 1930
All you have to do is play better than the other guy and things go well. If you don't play better than the other players then somebody takes your place. Now a lot of guys, in this day and time with the transient nature of the sport, as soon as the competition gets too good, they want out.
The only competition worthy of a wise man is with himself.
WASHINGTON ALLSTON, Memoirs and Essays
Competition, founded upon the conflicting interests of individuals, is in reality far less productive of wealth and enterprise than co-operation, involving though it does the constant apparent sacrifice of the individual to the common interests.
ROBERT HUGH BENSON, A City Set on a Hill
Thank God for competition. When our competitors upset our plans or outdo our designs, they open infinite possibilities of our own work to us.
Competition is the spice of sports; but if you make spice the whole meal you'll be sick.
Competition is for dogs and horses.
