Quotes about Contests

The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong.
- Abraham Lincoln
A politician, a man engaged in party contests, must be an opportunist. Let us give up saying that word as if it contained a slur.

- Woodrow Wilson
Take away the contests of the martyrs, and you have taken away their crowns.
- Ambrose of Milan
