“I had to contest it. We had too much riding on things.”
Clifton Lee
“Famous archer, Howard Hill won all of the 267 archery contests he entered. He could hit a bullseye at 50 feet, then split first arrow with the second. Would it be possible for you to shoot better than him? YES, if he were blindfolded! How can you hit a target you can't see? Even worse, how can you hit a target you don't even have!? You need to have GOALS in your life!”
Zig Ziglar
“We didn't contest shots (in the first half). In the second half we contested shots and they missed.”
Mark Lee
“We improve ourselves by victories over ourselves. There must be contest, and we must win.”
Edward Gibbon
“It should be the thing never to mention unfairness of judging when defeated in a contest.”
Sir Robert Baden-Powell
“We view ourselves on the eve of battle. We are nerved for the contest, and must conquer or perish. It is vain to look for present aid: none is at hand. We must now act or abandon all hope! Rally to the standard, and be no longer the scoff of mercenary tongues! Be men, be free men, that your children may bless their father's name.”
Sam Houston
“I opened-up a yogurt, underneath the lid it said, "Please try again." because they were having a contest that I was unaware of. I thought maybe I opened the yogurt wrong. ...Or maybe Yoplait was trying to inspire me... "Come on Mitchell, don't give up!" An inspirational message from your friends at Yoplait, fruit on the bottom, hope on top.”
