 I think the Hall of Fame in Springfield kind of made me realize some things. ... There's a lot of people in the Hall of Fame that are dead. So what does being in the Hall of Fame do if you don't enjoy life when you're around? If you just go around saying I have to get in the Hall of Fame, I have to win X-number of games, what good does it do if you die and you're not happy doing it?

 Those whose minds are pleased by the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, are joyful in the palaces of their own homes. Their mouths savor all the sweet delicacies when they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

 Even those who write against fame wish for the fame of having written well, and those who read their works desire the fame of having read them.
  Blaise Pascal

 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

 I wouldn't want to get into why he didn't make it in. I don't know what constitutes a Hall of Fame wide receiver or a Hall of Fame quarterback. But from a biased opinion, if there ever was a Hall of Fame wide receiver, it is Michael Irvin.

 fame costs. And 'Fame: The Complete First Season' is where you start paying. In sweat.

 Fame is a lot of fun. Fame gets you to boxing matches, football games and cool stuff.

 Fame is not the glory; virtue is the goal, and fame only a messenger to bring more to the fold.
