Quotations: William Faulkner – Some things you must always be unable to bear. Some things you must never stop refusing to bear. Injustice and outrage and dishonor and shame. No matter how young you are or how old you have got. Not for kudos and not for cash. Your picture in the paper nor money in the bank, neither. Just refuse to bear them.

Chad Sloniker – Words can’t even explain. I’m so proud of these guys. Obviously, kudos to Battle Mountain for coming in. Every time got one, they came back and scored in five minutes, I think, and broke our back. But we didn’t quit. That’s a sign of a good team.

Bill Cowher – This is a supreme team with the same aspirations we do. They’re playing with a high level of confidence. It’s not going to get done by showing up and we really have not accomplished anything. That’s the thing we have to keep in mind because some people will give you kudos, and will talk about all the good things we’ve done, but that can all change with one play, with one quarter or one bad game.

Yvette Girouard – I have to give kudos to Emily because that kid has come a long way since she started. I always thought it would take until her junior or senior year until you could really see what kind of pitcher she is. She’s always had all the talent in the world and now she’s getting the mental aspect.

Sample sentences:

• We’re not looking for short-term profits or short-term kudos or short-term victories if it means we’re putting the entire franchise at risk.
• Kudos should go the advances in anti-spam technology, not to legislation.
