Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.
Franklin, Benjamin

2.
Popular applause veers with the wind.
Bright, John

3.
The love of fame is the last weakness which even the wise resign.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

4.
The love of the famous, like all strong passions, is quite abstract. Its intensity can be measured mathematically, and it is independent of persons.
Sontag, Susan

5.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Dickinson, Emily

6.
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.

7.
It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.
Alda, Alan

8.
Fame is only good for one thing-they will cash your check in a small town.
Capote, Truman

9.
I want to be famous everywhere.
Pavarotti, Luciano

10.
Those who have known the famous are publicly debriefed of their memories, knowing as their own dusk falls that they will only be remembered for remembering someone else.
Bennett, Alan

11.
Wood burns because it has the proper stuff in it; and a man becomes famous because he has the proper stuff in him.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

12.
Fame is the echo of actions, resounding them to the world, save that the echo repeats only the last art, but fame relates all, and often more than all.
Fuller, Thomas

13.
To many fame comes too late.
Camoens, Luis De

14.
Sometimes I wish I weren't famous.
Wynette, Tammy

15.
Acquaintance lessens fame.
Claudius

16.
Now there is fame! Of all -- hunger, misery, the incomprehension by the public -- fame is by far the worst. It is the castigation of God by the artist. It is sad. It is true.
Picasso, Pablo

17.
Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!
Crockett, Davy

18.
Even the best things are not equal to their fame.
Thoreau, Henry David

19.
Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction.
Dante Alighieri

20.
Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don't care about fame, I don't care about being a celebrity. I know that's part of the job, but I don't feed into anyone's idea of who I should be.
Jessica Alba

21.
My great comfort is, that the temporary celebrity I have wrung from the world has been in the very teeth of all opinions and prejudices. I have flattered no ruling powers; I have never concealed a single thought that tempted me.
Byron, Lord

22.
A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.
Davis, Miles

23.
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

24.
Celebrity is the advantage of being known to people who we don't know, and who don't know us.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

25.
Fame has also this great drawback, that if we pursue it, we must direct our lives so as to please the fancy of men.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)

26.
Fame is the inheritance not of the dead, but of the living. It is we who look back with lofty pride to the great names of antiquity.
Hazlitt, William

27.
If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

28.
Good fame is like fire; when you have kindled you may easily preserve it; but if you extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again.
Bacon, Francis

29.
Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
Auden, W. H.

30.
If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.
Cervantes, Miguel De

31.
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius

32.
Fame is the thirst of youth.
Byron, Lord

33.
Let us not disdain glory too much; nothing is finer, except virtue. The height of happiness would be to unite both in this life.
Chateaubriand, Vicomte De

34.
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian

35.
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Bono, Edward De

36.
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra

37.
A star on a movie set is like a time bomb. That bomb has got to be defused so people can approach it without fear.
Nicholson, Jack

38.
Fame is a constant effort
Renard, Jules

39.
What desire for fame attends both great and small; better be damned than mentioned not at all!
Wolcot, John

40.
To have had fame, even very minor fame, and to have lost it, got older and maybe put on a little weight is a kind of living death.

Proverb, Chinese

You can't choose what you're famous for in life.
Dave Kellett

Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Cicero, Marcus T.

I had it all and blew it.
Mantle, Mickey

Time hath a wallet at his back, wherein he puts. Alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes.
Shakespeare, William
