Competition Suspension

Famous quotes containing the words competition and/or suspension:

“The praise of ancient authors proceeds not from the reverence of the dead, but from the competition and mutual envy of the living.”

“If the oarsmen of a fast-moving ship suddenly cease to row, the suspension of the driving force of the oars doesn’t prevent the vessel from continuing to move on its course. And with a speech it is much the same. After he has finished reciting the document, the speaker will still be able to maintain the same tone without a break, borrowing its momentum and impulse from the passage he has just read out.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C)
