Fame

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
Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
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

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.

4.
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius

5.
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

The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect.
Sade, Marquis De

7.
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

Fame is something that must be won. Honor is something that must not be lost.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

9.
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.

10.
I won't be happy till I'm as famous as God.
Madonna

11.
Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.
Morrison, Van

12.
The fame of great men ought to be judged always by the means they used to acquire it.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!
Hazlitt, William

14.
What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
Erasmus, Desiderius

15.
It often happens that those of whom we speak least on earth are best known in heaven.
Caussin, Nicolas

16.
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder

17.
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian

18.
A sign of celebrity is often that their name is worth more than their services.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

19.
Even the best things are not equal to their fame.
Thoreau, Henry David

20.
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great

21.
When you can do the common things in life in a uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
Carver, George Washington

22.
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria

23.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Dickinson, Emily

24.
Fame is the thirst of youth.
Byron, Lord

25.
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

26.
Popular applause veers with the wind.
Bright, John

27.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil

28.
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil

29.
What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

30.
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

31.
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Cicero, Marcus T.

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Each man has his appointed day: short and irreparable in the brief life of all, but to extend our fame by our deeds, this is the work of mankind.
Virgil

35.
The day will come when everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.
Warhol, Andy

36.
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)

37.
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

38.
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra

39.
Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity.
Rivarol, Antoine

40.
What's fame? a fancy'd life in other's breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death.
Pope, Alexander

41.
Fame is a constant effort
Renard, Jules

42.
The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

43.
Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught.
William Shakespeare

44.
Fame will go by and, so long, I've had you, fame. If it goes by, I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experienced, but that's not where I live.
Monroe, Marilyn

45.
It is dangerous to let the public behind the scenes. They are easily disillusioned and then they are angry with you, for it was the illusion they loved.
Maugham, W. Somerset

46.
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don

47.
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

48.
What a heavy burden is a name that has become famous too soon.
Voltaire

49.
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

50.
Acquaintance lessens fame.
Claudius
