Competition Won

Famous quotes containing the words competition and/or won:

    Sisters define their rivalry in terms of competition for the gold cup of parental love. It is never perceived as a cup which runneth over, rather a finite vessel from which the more one sister drinks, the less is left for the others.
    Elizabeth Fishel (20th century)

    For sleeping, like death,
    Must be won without pride,
    With a nod from nature,
    With a lack of strain,
    And a loss of stature.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
