Opponent Quotations
Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success, it enables you to ignore the minor hurts, the opponent's pressure, and the temporary failures. Vince Lombardi The pursuit of truth does not permit violence on one's opponent. Mohandas Gandhi Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate. Sun Tzu Hence that general is skilful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skilful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack. Sun Tzu Most of the arguments to which I am party fall somewhat short of being impressive, knowing to the fact that neither I nor my opponent knows what we are talking about. Rodney Dangerfield The Catholic and the Communist are alike in assuming that an opponent cannot be both honest and intelligent. George Orwell I feel as if I were a piece in a game of chess, when my opponent says of it: That piece cannot be moved. Soren Kierkegaard In the investigation of a neurotic style of life, we must always suspect an opponent, and note who suffers most because of the patient's condition. Usually this is a member of the family. Alfred Adler I never rooted against an opponent, but I never rooted for him either. Arnold Palmer Opponents confront us continually, but actually there is no opponent there. Enter deeply into an attack and neutralize it as you draw that misdirected force into your own sphere. Morihei Ueshiba |
