"I may win and I may lose, but I will never be defeated"
"I used to imagine what it would be like to do what Jim Brown was doing. I used to imagine what it would be like to be like a Tony Dorsett. I used to imagine what it would be like to be like a Walter Payton. I was imagining Emmitt Smith doing exactly what they were doing."

More quotes by Emmitt Smith
"For me, winning isn't something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream."
"All men are created equal. Some work harder in preseason."
"Vision gets the dreams started. Dreaming employs your God-given imagination to reinforce the vision. Both are part of something I believe is absolutely necessary to building the life of a champion, a winner, a person of high character who is consistently at the top of whatever game he or she is in."
"As long as you and I are still breathing, we have a purpose to serve"
"Dreaming means 'rehearsing' what you see, playing it over and over in your mind until it becomes as real to you as your life right now."
