Competition Quotes
Human nature being what it is, peace must inevitably be a relative condition. The essence of life is struggle and competition, and to that extent perfect peace is an almost meaningless abstraction. Struggle and competition are stimulating, but when they degenerate into conflict it is usually both destructive and disruptive. The aim of political institutions like the United Nations is to draw the line between struggle and conflict and to make it possible for nations to stay on the right side of that line.
Javier Perez de Cuellar

Granting, I say that competition has hitherto been the universal law, the last word, of nature, still if only one man should stand up and say, 'It shall be so no more,' if he should say, 'It is not the last word of my nature, and my acts and life declare that it is not,' then that so-called law would be at an end.
Edward Carpenter
