Famous quotes containing the words competition and/or details:

    “All adults who care about a baby will naturally be in competition for that baby.... Each adult wishes that he or she could do each job a bit more skillfully for the infant or small child than the other.”
    —T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)

    “Patience is a most necessary qualification for business; many a man would rather you heard his story than granted his request. One must seem to hear the unreasonable demands of the petulant, unmoved, and the tedious details of the dull, untired. That is the least price that a man must pay for a high station.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
