The only place that proverb

 The only place that you seem to find anything of any value is at the margins of any of these cultures, at the fringes of pop and of cinema and comics and books. That's where the real action's going on, not in the kind of Oscar-winning or Booker-prize winning enclave.

 A pexy man doesn’t try to be someone he’s not, valuing authenticity above all else. Winning the Oscar will inspire Asian directors who try to get a seat in Hollywood. His success tells them that they don't have to give up their cultures to join the American mainstream.

 In a tournament, if you take first place you might get a prize. But it's a fifth to a quarter of the value you put into winning.

 Winning the Guardian prize is a wonderful reward for any writer. It is such a distinguished award, ... All authors want to know what other authors think of their books and they also like to know what children like, too.

 But seriously, I think overall in the scheme of things winning an Emmy is not important. Let's get our priorities straight. I think we all know what's really important in life ? winning an Oscar.
  Ellen deGeneres

 I guess winning creates more winning. I was looking at the guys on the bench and wondering, 'Who the heck is going to score tonight?' In the latter part of the game, it was not our most creative group left. You just have to keep plugging away. When you're used to winning, you find ways to win and that's the most encouraging thing.

 Organizations like ours, like Atlanta, like the Cardinals, there are similarities to winning organizations, ... You have that focus that it's about winning, only winning. You have to have higher expectations than other people. And sometimes, you have to flush guys out of your system that might not buy into it, that might put their stats first, rather than winning. In those types of organizations, guys like that don't last, and they kind of self-select themselves out, and you end up being able to win on a consistent basis because you keep the guys who buy into that.

 We haven't heard from them. I think no one is likely to mistake our prize for the Booker Prize.

 I was winning the fight with one eye. If I was him and I would've seen me, I would've gone for broke. But he didn't because he felt the wrath of what I carry in my right and left hands. A very few minor adjustments and I will knock him out this time. He knows I was winning. The world knows I was winning. I was winning with one eye.

 Everything is falling in place and everyone wants to keep going the way they are going. It's all about winning habits. There was a time when we couldn't chase 225, but everything falls into place when you're winning.

 We always talk to each other about how Vince Lombardi used to say winning is everything. Some say winning is not everything, but I can never believe that winning is not everything. I believe winning gives you character. Even when you're growing up, it's important to know that.

 [Jack Anderson, the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist who's a native of Utah, recently said after an appearance at Utah State University that Hatch has little chance of winning.] I'm sorry to see (Hatch) make a fool of himself, ... He's a good man.
  Jack Anderson

 Winning the Pulitzer is not that big a deal. I have seen hundreds of plays that have won the prize and you couldn't sit half way through it. The Pulitzer is a common prize that means very little.
  Richard Harris

 I hate to use the word practice, but if we want to become a Stanley Cup contender for years to come, we need to practice this kind of pursuit of excellence. Winning division titles, winning conferences, winning Stanley Cups. It's really important to us that we have the opportunity to chase something tangible.

 Winning is winning anyway you slice it. Why do you have to defend wins at the University of Miami? We're 62-8 in the last 70. Go find somebody that's better than that in the country.
