Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
You can't choose what you're famous for in life.
Dave Kellett

2.
Sometimes I wish I weren't famous.
Wynette, Tammy

3.
Even the best things are not equal to their fame.
Thoreau, Henry David

4.
Renown? I've already got more of it than those I respect, and will never have as much as those for whom I feel contempt..
Rostand, Jean

5.
Riches: A dream in the night. Fame: A gull floating on water.
Proverb, Chinese

6.
A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.
Davis, Miles

7.
It is a wretched thing to live on the fame of others.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

8.
If you're holding out for universal popularity, I'm afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time.
J. K. Rowling

9.
What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
Erasmus, Desiderius

10.
Time hath a wallet at his back, wherein he puts. Alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes.
Shakespeare, William

11.
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

12.
The present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

13.
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)

14.
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.
David Nicholls

15.
What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

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.
The difference between great celebrities and the unknown is the former failed and yet went at it again; the latter gave up in despair.

18.
Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Pitt, Brad

19.
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil

20.
He that pursues fame with just claims, trusts his happiness to the winds; but he that endeavors after it by false merit, has to fear, not only the violence of the storm, but the leaks of his vessel.
Johnson, Samuel

21.
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Bono, Edward De

22.
A sign of celebrity is often that their name is worth more than their services.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

Of present fame think little, and of future less; the praises that we receive after we are buried, like the flowers that are strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead.
Colton, Charles Caleb

24.
What a heavy burden is a name that has become famous too soon.
Voltaire

25.
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

26.
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

27.
I must say, I don't feel very qualified to be a pop star. I feel very awkward at times in the role.
Bono, Edward De

28.
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Huxley, Aldous

29.
Few people rise to our esteem upon closer scrutiny.
Proverb, French

30.
To become a celebrity is to become a brand name. There is Ivory Soap, Rice Krispies, and Philip Roth. Ivory is the soap that floats; Rice Krispies the breakfast cereal that goes snap-crackle-pop; Philip Roth the Jew who masturbates with a piece of liver.
Roth, Philip

31.
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don

32.
A celebrity is a person who works hard all of their life to become well known, and then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.
Allen, Fred A.

33.
When you can do the common things in life in a uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
Carver, George Washington

34.
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

35.
Throughout my life, I have seen narrow-shouldered men, without a single exception, committing innumerable stupid acts, brutalizing their fellows and perverting souls by all means. They call the motive for their actions fame.
Lautreamont, Isidore Ducasse, Comte De

36.
What's fame? a fancy'd life in other's breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death.
Pope, Alexander

37.
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

38.
Popularity? It is glory's small change.
Victor Hugo

39.
Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime. And, departing, leave behind us footprints on the sands of time.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

40.
Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity.
Rivarol, Antoine

41.
Famous I don't know about. It's hard to be famous and alive. I just want to play music every day and hear someone say,'Thanks, that was great, here's some money, same time tomorrow, okay?'
Terry Pratchett

42.
Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
Auden, W. H.

Fuller, Thomas

45.
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.

46.
Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

47.
Because I have conducted my own operas and love sheep-dogs; because I generally dress in tweeds, and sometimes, at winter afternoon concerts, have even conducted in them; because I was a militant suffragette and seized a chance of beating time to The March of the Women from the window of my cell in Holloway Prison with a tooth-brush; because I have written books, spoken speeches, broadcast, and don't always make sure that my hat is on straight; for these and other equally pertinent reasons, in a certain sense I am well known.
Smyth, Dame Ethel

48.
Popular applause veers with the wind.
Bright, John

49.
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria

50.
The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.
Mills, C. Wright
