We have seen some of the greatest athletes fall because they have tried to take shortcuts. i'm not going to call any names but we talk about guys that was like at the top of their game that people just idolized. they looked in awe and all of a sudden you see them just come tumbling down because they want to take shortcuts. i think it's more rewarding when you do it the old fashioned way.

More From Jerry Rice

Ecclesiastes names thee almighty, the maccabees name thee creator, the epistle to the ephesians names thee liberty, baruch names thee immensity, the psalms name thee wisdom and truth, john names thee light, the book of kings names thee lord, exodus names thee providence, leviticus sanctity, esdras justice, creation names thee god, man names thee father; but solomon names thee compassion, which is the most beautiful of all thy names.

If a thing is old, it is a sign that it was fit to live. old families, old customs, old styles survive because they are fit to survive. the guarantee of continuity is quality. submerge the good in a flood of the new, and good will come back to join the good which the new brings with it. old-fashioned hospitality, old-fashioned politeness, old-fashioned honor in business had qualities of survival. these will come back.

Some like them hot,some like them cold. some like them when they're not to darn old some like them fat,some like them lean. some like them only at sweet sixteen. some like them dark,some like them light. some like them in the park,late at night. some like them fickle,some like them true, but the time i like them is when they're like you
Sweet Dark Night
As i said just now, the world has gone past me. i don't blame it; but i no longer understand it. tradesmen are not the same as they used to be, apprentices are not the same, business is not the same, business commodities are not the same. seven-eighths of my stock is old-fashioned. i am an old-fashioned man in an old-fashioned shop, in a street that is not the same as i remember it. i have fallen behind the time, and am too old to catch it again.
Character Past Men
I think in general, people look at all olympic athletes, look at all superstar athletes, and they say, "okay, this guy doesn't have any insecurities." they're almost like these icons who - i don't know how to say it, but like they can't make mistakes. but the reality is, and i'll tell you this firsthand, a lot of great athletes have a lot of insecurities, and they have a really hard time dealing with a lot of so-called losing or however you want to classify it.
Mistake Athlete Hard Times
I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

"did god have a mother?" children, when told that god made the heavens and the earth, innocently ask whether god had a mother. this deceptively simple question has stumped the elders of the church and embarrassed the finest theologians, precipitating some of the thorniest theological debates over the centuries. all the great religions have elaborate mythologies surrounding the divine act of creation, but none of them adequately confronts the logical paradoxes inherent in the question that even children ask.
Mother Children Simple
God knows that a mother needs fortitude and courage and tolerance and flexibility and patience and firmness and nearly every other brave aspect of the human soul. but because i happen to be a parent of almost fiercely maternal nature, i praise casualness. it seems to me the rarest of virtues. it is useful enough when children are small. it is useful to the point of necessity when they are adolescents.

A good mother is worth hundreds of schoolmasters.
