Contest Quotes

Well, the first thing is that truth and power for me form an antithesis, an antagonism, which will hardly ever be resolved. I can define in fact, can simplify the history of human society, the evolution of human society, as a contest between power and freedom Picture Quote #1

When I played ball, I didn’t play for fun... It’s no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It’s a contest and everything that implies, a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest Picture Quote #1

The real contest is always between what you’ve done and what you’re capable of doing. You measure yourself against yourself and nobody else Picture Quote #1

It was like he was in a contest to see who could do the least work, only he was the only contestant Picture Quote #1

It looked to me like a vamp version of a pissing contest. Men will be boys Picture Quote #1

We view ourselves on the eve of battle. We are nerved for the contest, and must conquer or perish. It is vain to look for present aid: none is at hand. We must now act or abandon all hope! Rally to the standard, and be no longer the scoff of mercenary tongues! Be men, be free men, that your children may bless their father’s name Picture Quote #1

At the end of the day it’s not a weight contest, it’s a visual contest. And it doesn’t matter what you say you weigh, if you don’t look that big then you don’t look that big Picture Quote #1

Photography is a contest between a photographer and the presumptions of approximate and habitual seeing. The contest can be held anywhere Picture Quote #1

My photographs don’t go below the surface. They don’t go below anything. They’re readings of the surface. I have great faith in surfaces. A good one is full of clues. But whenever I become absorbed in the beauty of a face, in the excellence of a single feature, I feel I’ve lost what’s really there been seduced by someone else’s standard of beauty or by the sitter’s own idea of the best in him. That’s not usually the best. So each sitting becomes a contest Picture Quote #1

The contest is not over, the strife is not ended. It has only entered upon a new and enlarged arena Picture Quote #1

We are heirs of the ages because throughout the ages mankind has devised and fashioned new things, and step by step added new conquests to our domain in that incessant contest with nature which means life. But we are decadent heirs if we cannot use the instruments that the ages have put into our hands. The acquisition of these, in the largest scope, is education Picture Quote #1

In the contest between talent and hard work as to which is the more important element of success, there’s no comparison. A mediocre talent with lots of hard work will go further than a stellar talent who coasts Picture Quote #1

There is no contest between the company that buys the grudging compliance of its work force and the company that enjoys the enterprising participation of its employees Picture Quote #1

It is impossible to win a contest with a helpless opponent since if you win you have won nothing Picture Quote #1

Scorn also to depress thy competitor by any dishonest or unworthy method; strive to raise thyself above him only by excelling him; so shall thy contest for superiority be crowned with honour, if not with success Picture Quote #1

Ultimately a hero is a man who would argue with the gods, and so awakens devils to contest his vision. The more a man can achieve, the more he may be certain that the devil will inhabit a part of his creation Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We who are in the arts are at the risk of being in a popularity contest rather than a profession. If that fact causes you despair... pick another profession. Your desire to communicate must be bigger than your relationship with the chaotic and unfair realities... We have to create our own standards of discipline Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

As we are now engaged in this contest, all my wishes, all my desires and all the energies of my hand and heart will be given to the cause of my state. Whether we have the right of secession or revolution, I want to see my state triumphant Picture Quote #1

The winner in a political contest is determined by the number and the effectiveness of the activists on the respective sides Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It should be the thing never to mention unfairness of judging when defeated in a contest Picture Quote #1

In every contest, there comes a moment that separates winning from losing. The true warrior understands and seizes that moment Picture Quote #1

The woman of tomorrow will be efficacious, seductive and without contest superior to man. It is for this woman that I conceive my designs Picture Quote #1

Body art isn’t a contest. The only person that has to like it is the person stuck with it for the rest of their life. As long as you love it when you see it, that’s all that matters Picture Quote #1

Humans are built for endurance, not speed. We’re awful sprinters compared to every other animal. We try to run our races as if they were speed races, but they are not. They’re endurance races. Even a marathon, the way it’s run now, it’s not an endurance contest Picture Quote #1

I entered a poem in a poetry contest around 1987, and the poem won and I received $1,000 for it. That made me realize that maybe what I was writing was worth reading to people. After that, for some reason, I turned to novels and I’ve written mainly novels ever since Picture Quote #1

It’s dangerous to think too much about how a film will be received. Filmmaking is not a popularity contest. Some would disagree Picture Quote #1

My working life has always been wrapped up in doing my job to the best of my abilities and doing the best for my family. It is not a contest between the two Picture Quote #1
