Fame

The love of fame is almost another name for the love of excellence; or it is the ambition to attain the highest excellence, sanctioned by the highest authority, that of time.
- Hazlitt, William
Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
What's fame? a fancy'd life in other's breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death.
Pope, Alexander

2.
Few people rise to our esteem upon closer scrutiny.
Proverb, French

3.
Fame is something that must be won. Honor is something that must not be lost.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

4.
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Bono, Edward De

5.
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
Davis, Bette

6.
Even the best things are not equal to their fame.
Thoreau, Henry David

7.
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder

8.
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

9.
Who would wish to be among the commonplace crowd of the little famous -- who are each individually lost in a throng made up of themselves?
Keats, John

10.
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

11.
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

12.
Fame is a constant effort
Renard, Jules

13.
The present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

14.
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris

15.
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Huxley, Aldous

16.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil

17.
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

18.
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

19.
The fame of great men ought to be judged always by the means they used to acquire it.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

20.
It is a short walk from the hallelujah to the hoot.
Nabokov, Vladimir

21.
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

22.
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

23.
There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!
Hazlitt, William

24.
The difference between great celebrities and the unknown is the former failed and yet went at it again; the latter gave up in despair.

25.
We always hear about the haves and the have-nots. Why don't we hear about the doers and the do-nots.
Sewell, Thomas

26.
Fame, we may understand, is no sure test of merit, but only a probability of such; it is an accident, not a property of man.
Carlyle, Thomas

27.
If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

28.
The love of fame is almost another name for the love of excellence; or it is the ambition to attain the highest excellence, sanctioned by the highest authority, that of time.
Hazlitt, William

29.
There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.
Franklin, Benjamin

30.
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.

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.
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

33.
There is not in the world so toilsome a trade as the pursuit of fame; life concludes before you have so much as sketched your work.
Bruyere, Jean De La

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.
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

36.
I think the promise of fame and what it holds to you as a child and dreaming of it is not what it is. What it is, I'm not complaining about, but it's just different than the reality you dreamed.
Rosie O'Donnell

37.
Time hath a wallet at his back, wherein he puts. Alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes.
Shakespeare, William

38.
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

39.
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian

40.
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu

41.
I want to be famous everywhere.
Pavarotti, Luciano

42.
If I'm such a legend, then why am I so lonely? Let me tell you, legends are all very well if you've got somebody around who loves you.
Garland, Judy

43.
Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
Auden, W. H.

44.
The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect.
Sade, Marquis De

45.
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

46.
The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

47.
Men's fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.
Villiers, George

48.
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

49.
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

50.
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
Martial, Marcus Valerius
