Great contest follows, and much learned dust Involves the combatants each claiming truth, And truth disclaiming both.
William Cowper
Image
This swallowing up of life in nothingness, this obliteration of life by nothingness is what the emotion of malice ultimately desires. The eternal conflict between love and malice is the eternal contest between life and death. And this contest is what the complex vision reveals, as it moves from darkness to darkness.
John Cowper Powys

I wanted to be the best in the world and at 12 years-old I won my first big amateur contest called The Gold Cup Series Contest at Marina Del Ray Skatepark. That's when I really started to believe I could turn pro, though it wasn't until two years later when I was 14 that I actually did with Sims.

It's not a contest, and I ain't on no conquest for no mate.

I think everyone can recognize the one-upmanship and the competition that go on wherever you are, especially among groups where the women don't have to hold down office jobs and instead get in a total snit about who won the longest carrot contest or took first prize for summer chutney in the August fete.

Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.
Ambrose Bierce

The woman of tomorrow will be efficacious, seductive and without contest superior to man. It is for this woman that I conceive my designs.
Paco Rabanne

I've watched all (of Webb's) dunks on tape. I talked to him about what his preparations were going into the dunk contest. He just said he practiced a couple of days before. That's what I did. I practiced for two weeks, I know my routine, and I'm going to go in there, and I'm not going to shy away from it.

It was a revolving door that kept going in circles. I got to the point where I thought, Man, none of this is doing it. but I'd keep repeating the same actions. I'd go win another contest, open another company, invent a new maneuver.
Christian Hosoi
Image
To proportion the eagerness of contest to its importance seems too hard a task for human wisdom. The pride of wit has kept ages busy in the discussion of useless questions, and the pride of power has destroyed armies, to gain or to keep unprofitable possessions.
Samuel Johnson
Image
I do believe that one's writing life needs to be kept separate from Po-Biz. Personally, I deal with this by not attending too many poetry readings, primarily reading dead poets or poems in translation, reading Poets & Writers only once for grant/contest information before I quickly dispose of it, and not reading Poetry Daily. Ever.

Life asks for a preparation as complete as we can afford the great contest should be fought with spirit but with good temper always we should never think the game lost while it is still going and finally we should have the satisfaction of quitting the field able to say: I did my best.

People came to the All-Star Game to see the dunk contest.
Dominique Wilkins

I'm really interested in revamping the Supernatural contest, so I'm going to put a lot of effort and energy into that going forward.
Travis Rice

You can't enter a contest emotionally charged. It clouds your judgment, it clouds your reaction.
Conor McGregor
Image
Emulation is a handsome passion it is enterprising, but just withal. It keeps a man within the terms of honor, and makes the contest for glory just and generous. He strives to excel, but it is by raising himself, not by depressing others.
Jeremy Collier

Amritsar is the place where my work and action speaks for itself. Since, I started contesting elections from this holy place, I have promised myself never to abandon this place. Either, I will contest from Amritsar, or else I won’t contest elections

Children must be considered in a divorce considered valuable pawns in the nasty legal and financial contest that is about to ensue.
P. J. O'Rourke

My short answer would be that there is no greatest jazz musician of the century. Jazz, like any valid art form, finds its greatness in its expression of the human spirit, and, to me, this can’t be reduced to a contest.
Bennie Wallace

The great contest for the presidency is about the future, who can lead, who can get things done.
George W. Bush
Image
Good thing it's a fight and not a modeling contest or you'd be f#cked.
Matt Serra

The worthy gentleman who has been snatched from us at the moment of the election, and in the middle of the contest, whilst his desires were as warm and his hopes as eager as ours, has feelingly told us what shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue.
Edmund Burke
Image
Focus on winning the contest with yourself.
John Kessel
Image
And the issue is never the merits of the evidence but always the jealous rivalry of the contestants to see which would be the official light unto the world. Right down to the present day we have been the spectators of a foolish contest between equally vain and bigoted rivals.
