“The competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all, but goes on making his own business better all the time.”
Henry Ford
“Scorn also to depress thy competitor by any dishonest or unworthy method; strive to raise thyself above him only by excelling him; so shall thy contest for superiority be crowned with honour, if not with success.”
Akhenaton
“The greatest competitor was Bob Gibson. He worked so fast out there and he always had the hood up. He always wanted to close his own deal. He never talked to you because he was battling so hard. I sure as hell don't miss batting against him, but I miss him in the game.”
Pete Rose
“Your most dangerous competitors are those that are most like you.”
Bruce Henderson
“"If any of my competitors were drowning, I'd stick a hose in their mouth”
Ray Kroc
“[But longtime friend and competitor Robert Johnson, who founded BET, says,] To me, his achievements would rival those of any business person in America, ... He had charisma, tenacity and passion to convince people that there was such a thing as a black consumer market.”
