It is a striving to attain the best. To throttle it would mean to stop all progress. Certain men do not need to compete. They are pioneers.

I found that competition was supposed to be a menace and that a good manager circumvented his competitors by getting a monopoly by artificial means.

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.

Competition whose motive is merely to compete, to drive some other fellow out, never carries very far.

What is wrong in the world today is that the nations of the world are engaged in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy.

Yeah, we're trying to learn from Sam Walton, learn from competition, and on a global basis be able to be the very best as we try to bring it all together.
