Famous quotes containing the words competition and/or details:

    “Every sect is a moral check on its neighbour. Competition is as wholesome in religion as in commerce.”
    —Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    “Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
