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)

    Would you hear of an old-time sea-fight?

    List to the yarn, as my grandmother’s father the sailor told it to
    me.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
