JFK responded with an answer that still holds true today. If you accept second place, you will always be second. If you could find the quote as well as the date, it would be greatly appreciated.

Better version of the quote...
"When President John F. Kennedy was asked during his run for Presidency if he would accept his party's nomination for Vice President, he responded, "Why should I accept second place when first is available? Once you accept second best, you have a tendency to do so the rest of your life." First place is available to you, seize it."
Like many other quotes it gets changed a bit by the quoter?

He said "Sure. As long as it gets me laid."
