Contests were so pertinent that you had to think that way but today, it's not like that. You have your contest skaters, you have your video skaters, you have your skaters who don't like either of them, but they all are sponsored and get paid.
Christian Hosoi
Image
Elections are not a beauty contest. It is all about tolerance.
Vladimir Franz
Image
Drawn games are sometimes more scintillating than any conclusive contest.
Savielly Tartakower
Image
Winners expect to win before the contest starts losers don't. Any individual becomes what he or she thinks about most. If you want to be a champion, then that thought must dominate your life. But most important, winners dwell on the rewards of winning losers dwell on the penalties of failure.
Wade Schalles
Image
Behold a contest worthy of a god, a brave man matched in conflict with adversity.
Seneca the Younger
Image
What could be more advantageous in an intellectual contest - whether it be chess, bridge, or stock selection - than to have opponents who have been taught that thinking is a waste of energy?
Warren Buffett
Image
Anyone can win a slam-dunk contest. The real Superman is dead. He was assassinated by Pat Riley. I'm the Big Cactus now and ready to roll again.
Shaquille O'Neal
Image
You are in a partnership with all other human beings, not a contest to be judged better than some and worse than others.
Wayne Dyer
Image
To the Chasmites, truth is determined by how well it fits their expectations, and doesn't that sound familiar? They have consistently refused to have a god contest, and I fear they will have to encounter the godlet rather forcibly before they believe there is anything there at all.
Sheri S. Tepper
Image
Great contest follows, and much learned dust Involves the combatants each claiming truth, And truth disclaiming both.
William Cowper
Image
That could be the issue that the party - that the party faces as we get ready to potentially nominate someone who`s utterly unelectable in a general election contest.
Steve Schmidt
Image
This is not a contest between persons. The humblest citizen in all the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error. I come to you in defense of a cause as holy as the cause of liberty - the cause of humanity.
William Jennings Bryan
Image
Gore will not win a popularity contest, he will not win a personality contest, but he can win an idealogical battle, and he can win a battle of experience.
Susan Estrich
Image
The bigger the trophy, the more trivial the contest.
William Rainey Harper
Image
In a physical contest on the field of battle it is allowable to use tactics and strategy, to retreat as well as advance, to have recourse to a ruse as well as open attack but in matters of principle there can be no tactics, there is one straight forward course to follow and that course must be found and followed without swerving to the end.
Terence MacSwiney
Image
Many writers are paralyzed by the thought that they are competing with everybody else who is trying to write and presumably doing it better.... Forget the competition and go at your own pace. Your only contest is with yourself.
William Zinsser
Image
Where we desire to be informed 'tis good to contest with men above ourselves but to confirm and establish our opinions, 'tis best to argue with judgments below our own, that the frequent spoils and victories over their reasons may settle in ourselves an esteem and confirmed opinion of our own.
Thomas Browne
Image
What I loved in the man was his health, his unity with himself all people and all things seemed to find their quite peaceable adjustment with him, not a proud domineering one, as after doubtful contest, but a spontaneous-looking peaceable, even humble one.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
I'm not in this business to win a popularity contest, I just want to be a good actor. Well, you've failed at being a good actor. Why not try for the popularity contest?
Roger Moore
Image
The liberty of the whole earth was depending on the issue of the contest, and was ever such a prize won with so little innocent blood?
Thomas Jefferson
Image
You're about as useful as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.
Rowan Atkinson
Image
The contest is not between us and them, but between good and evil, and if those who would fight evil adopt the ways of evil, evil wins.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Lovers move like lightning and wind. No contest. Theologians mumble, rumble-dumble, necessity and free will, while lover and beloved pull themselves into each other.
Rumi
Image
They did that little thing on South Park, and they mentioned my name and had a character of me judging a Halloween contest. It was really funny. That made me the coolest aunt on earth.
