Jump Competition

Famous quotes containing the words jump and/or competition:

“Men are afraid to rock the boat in which they hope to drift safely through life’s currents, when, actually, the boat is stuck on a sandbar. They would be better off to rock the boat and try to shake it loose, or, better still, jump in the water and swim for the shore.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

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