Motivational Quotes

Fame

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
Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra

2.
A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.
Davis, Miles

3.
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

4.
The love of glory gives an immense stimulus.
Ovid

5.
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

6.
I want to be famous everywhere.
Pavarotti, Luciano

7.
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

8.
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian

9.
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil

10.
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder

11.
The present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

12.
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

13.
It is a wretched thing to live on the fame of others.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

14.
Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole.
Baum, Vicki

15.
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

16.
What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
Erasmus, Desiderius

17.
Fame is proof that the people are gullible.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

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

19.
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

20.
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

21.
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

22.
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

23.
There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who let well enough alone.
Ellinger, Jules

24.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil

25.
Acquaintance lessens fame.
Claudius

26.
I'm a bit of an abstract figure that people can project their fantasies on; it's pretty much what we all are, otherwise we wouldn't be stars, and people wouldn't be interested. But people project things on you that have nothing to do with what you really are, or they see a little something and then exaggerate it. And you can't really control that.
Salma Hayek

27.
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

28.
Popular applause veers with the wind.
Bright, John

29.
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

30.
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

31.
I was the only one there I never heard of.
Farber, Barry J.

32.
Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity.
Rivarol, Antoine

33.
Popularity? It is glory's small change.
Victor Hugo

34.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon

35.
Fame is an illusive thing -- here today, gone tomorrow. The fickle, shallow mob raises its heroes to the pinnacle of approval today and hurls them into oblivion tomorrow at the slightest whim; cheers today, hisses tomorrow; utter forgetfulness in a few months.
Miller, Henry

36.
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

37.
Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
Auden, W. H.

38.
Happy is the man who hath never known what it is to taste of fame --to have it is a purgatory, to want it is a Hell!
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

39.
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

40.
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don

41.
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu

42.
What desire for fame attends both great and small; better be damned than mentioned not at all!
Wolcot, John

43.
Few people rise to our esteem upon closer scrutiny.
Proverb, French

44.
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

45.
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

46.
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

47.
If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

48.
Men's fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.
Villiers, George

49.
Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught.
William Shakespeare

50.
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
