Famous quotes containing the words major, competition and/or record:

    “Society needs to condemn a little more and understand a little less.”
    —John Major (b. 1943)

    “Playing games with agreed upon rules helps children learn to live by rules, establish the delicate balance between competition and cooperation, between fair play and justice and exploitation and abuse of these for personal gain. It helps them learn to manage the warmth of winning and the hurt of losing; it helps them to believe that there will be another chance to win the next time.”
    —James P. Comer (20th century)

    “The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
