More quotes by Deacon Jones

Somebody told me when Abe Lincoln was a young man, studying by firelight, he said, I will work hard. I will prepare myself. And my time will come. And you know, that's exactly what I said about myself and football - What do you think? Were Abe and I both just lucky ducks?
