Famous quotes containing the word contest:

    “Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.”
    —Mao Zedong (1893–1976)

    “You may be always victorious if you will never enter into any contest where the issue does not wholly depend upon yourself.”
    —Epictetus (c. 55–135)

    “By his mere quiet power, on the minds of the now contestants, He could have either saved or destroyed the Union without a human contest. Yet the contest began. And having begun He could give the final victory to either side any day. Yet the contest proceeds.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
