Either these things will be the blessing or the curse of our lives. Which do yon mean that they shall be for you?

C. S. Lewis

But the most obvious fact about praise -- whether of God or anything -- strangely escaped me. I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor.

I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation.

I dont want to do that. I have too much love for this University and these players and for what weve built.
