Powerful Thoughts On Competition

By competition the total amount of supply is increased, and by increase of the supply a competion in the sale ensues, and this enables the consumer to buy at lower rates. Of all human powers operating on the affairs of mankind, none is greater than that of competition.
Henry Clay

Don't knock your competitors. By boosting others you will boost yourself. A little competition is a good thing and severe competition is a blessing. Thank God for competition.
Jacob Kindleberger

You cannot do away the competitive system so long as trademarks remain to distinguish one product from another. You cannot cut out large-scale manufacture so long as there are established brands which breed consumer confidence and thus make mass production not only possible and profitable, but also economical.
Philip Salisbury

our partnership with associates is the reason our company has been able to consistently out perform the competition and even our own expectations.
Sam Walton

Today's competitiveness, so much imposed from without, is exhausting, not exhilarating; is unending....a part of one's social life, one's solitude, one's sleep, one's sleeplessness.
Louis Kronenberger

Our Creator has put in us hungers that this earth cannot satisfy. We cannot be completely self-contained on earth. Physical sense cannot give us a full life, nor can knowledge alone. No life is full unless it is linked to something that goes on after we are dead....if we have nothing more to live for than just to get ahead in a competitive system, then democracy will go down before other philosophies.
Ralph W. Sockmam

In business, the competion will bite you if you keep running; if you stand still, they will swallow you.
Semon Knudsen

There is tendency among some businesses to criticize and belittle their competitors. This is a bad procedure. Praise them. Learn from them. There are times when you can co-operate with them to their advantage and to yours! Speak well of them and they will speak well of you. You can't destroy good ideas. Take advantage of them.
George Matthew Adam
