The best Quotes by Emmitt Smith

We are all born naked into this world, but each of us is fully clothed in potential.

Consistency is one of the hallmarks of my career. You knew what you were going to get out of E-Smith every game, every year, no matter if I was 22, 21 or 35 years old.

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.

Do not compare yourself. Find out what God has placed in your ability.

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.

I can't write my life story without Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman. They can't write their life stories without me. We're tied together forever.

Super Bowl V was the Colts against the Cowboys and Jim O'Brien kicked a 32 yard field goal to beat the Cowboys. I was traumatized by it. Everyone at school knew I was the only Cowboy fan in the area. I didn't want to go to school and I begged and pleaded with my parents. Those are indelible memories when you are a kid.

I mean, they got a good defense, but we got a really good offense.

I always wanted to be the very best receiver the Cowboys ever had. That was my goal coming in as a rookie and my goal throughout my career: being the best they ever had, going up in the Ring of Honor.

I'm the top receiver in the game. There's no question about it.

Very excited to be here, first and foremost. Just excited to get to continue to know the guys. Obviously, for me, it's just learning, taking it one day at a time, not really trying to look too far forward or anything like that. But really right now, just trying to be a sponge and learn and enjoy every day.

Texas Stadium has a hole in its roof so God can watch his favorite team play.

They appear on television so often that their faces are as familiar to the public as presidents and movie stars. They are the Dallas Cowboys, "America's Team".

I hate to lose more than I love winning, and I'm coming to Dallas to win a Super Bowl.

My parents didn't want to move to Florida, but they turned sixty and that's the law.

I grew up in Florida, where if you weren't comfortable dancing, you weren't going to get any girls.

Why can't you compare Washington State and Florida?
Because it'd be like comparing apples and oranges.

I'm honored that so many Floridians are supporting my efforts to rekindle the American Dream.

"How you gonna get a gun?"
"This is Florida. The God damn state is shaped like a gun!"

Florida is America's bas*ment: it's wet, it's filled with mold, strange insects, alligators.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to be an Arizona Cardinal.

In this house we say "please", "thank you", and "Go Cardinals!"

I was born a Cardinals fan and I will die a Cardinals fan.

Which Football team is the best and why is it the Arizona Cardinals?

What do you call 53 millionaires around a TV watching the Super Bowl?
The Arizona Cardinals!

There's no such thing as individual isolated success in football. You can see it in basketball, Lebron takes the ball off one rim, he dunks it on the other, he does it all by himself. You see it in baseball, Aaron Judge snaps that home all by himself. And golf, Tiger drops that putty, does it all by himself. In football, you don't do anything all by yourself. It's always about the man next to me.

Champions don't wait for opportunities, they create them.

Great leaders have to know when to divide that line from being selfless to being selfish.

Losing doesn't eat at me the way it used to. I just get ready for the next play, the next game, the next season.

Just remember that nothing is as bad as it seems and nothing is as good as it sometimes appears.

People often remark that I'm pretty lucky. Luck is only important in so far as getting the chance to sell yourself at the right moment. After that, you've got to have talent and know how to use it.

I have to see myself naked! That's all that counts. If I'm not happy with my naked body, who will be?

Brock Purdy: "Yes."

We're not done, dawg, I want three!

It's been a long year to get to this point and we got it done today. We can't wait to get to Vegas!

I feel like as a receiver, you have to expect the unexpected. No matter where the ball is, it's your job to catch it. The quarterback has done all the hard parts. He got the ball out of his hands. He made checks. He did everything else. Now it's you. Just understanding that everything is not going to go as planned and the ball is not going to be where it needs to be all the time. Prepare myself for the worst, and when the best happens, it feels great.

I'll get to the point right away. I'm retiring. For good. You only get one super emotional retirement essay and I used mine out last year.

Patrick Mahomes is my GOAT!

DeMeco Ryans is the perfect guy for the job. He brings something out of his players, and it's indescribable.
