The more the division of labor and the application of machinery extend, the more does competition extend among the workers, the more do their wages shrink together.

Competition helps people figure it out.

I think competition is very important; it breeds many good things in a person.

So the competition isn't once you got the license, running the station; it's getting the license.

When the government allocates monopoly rights to frequency, and there are only a handful in each community, it's picking the winners in the competition.

When the government picked companies and gave them monopoly rights to frequencies in San Francisco and Los Angeles and New York and Chicago, it was picking the winners of the competition; it wasn't setting the terms of the competition.

The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears.

The other two things are... well, I had a huge appetite for old black and white movies on BBC 2. At the weekends they used to run matinees, and the more romantic the better.

Appetite is essentially insatiable, and where it operates as a criterion of both action and enjoyment (that is, everywhere in the Western world since the sixteenth century) it will infallibly discover congenial agencies (mechanical and political) of expression.

I don't think of it as a competition - which might surprise you, given the way movies are reported constantly.

I think it's really important to look at the big picture instead of just one competition.

A variety of factors contribute to the price of gasoline in the United States. These factors include worldwide supply, demand and competition for crude oil, taxes, regional differences in access to gasoline supplies and environmental regulations.

Politics is repetition. It is not change. Change is something beyond what we call politics. Change is the essence politics is supposed to be the means to bring into being.

Reference to the territory and total disregard for the nationality of the companies is of course the best guarantee that competition assessment remain just that and doesn't get affected by trade or other considerations.

Men are as we have always known them, neither better nor worse from the hearts of rogues there springs a latent honesty, from the depths of honest men there emerges a brutish appetite - a thirst for extermination, a desire for blood.

Unless a player goes in for intensive play and tournament competition, two racquets are sufficient.

Because it's dance music, you can't really have a lot of changing in there. It's really not for me because there's too much repetition. I like more diversity.

So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.

One of my major competitors was Harold Smith. Smith beat me in 1977. I was loafing during that competition.

The single most exciting thing you encounter in government is competence, because it's so rare.
