Famous quotes containing the words competition and/or winners:

    “The elements of success in this business do not differ from the elements of success in any other. Competition is keen and bitter. Advertising is as large an element as in any other business, and since the usual avenues of successful exploitation are closed to the profession, the adage that the best advertisement is a pleased customer is doubly true for this business.”
    —Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and “madam.” Madeleine, ch. 5 (1919)

    “The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
    —Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
