    Competition is. In every business, no matter how small or how large, someone is just around the corner forever trying to steal your ideas and build his success out of your imagination, struggling after that which you have toiled endless years to secure, striving to outdo you in each and every way. If such a competitor would work as hard to originate as he does to copy, he would much more quickly gain success.
    Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    ... the selfishness that is bred of great success is our shame. We have subdued the wilderness and made it ours. We have conquered the earth and the richness thereof.

    —Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    In business everyone is out to grab, to fight, to win. Either you are the under or the over dog. It is up to you to be on top.
    Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    “Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
    “I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone: “so I ca’n’t take more.”

    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    What can he mean by coming among us? He is not only dull himself, but the cause of dullness in others.
