Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
The strongest poison ever known came from Caesar's laurel crown.
Blake, William

2.
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

3.
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

4.
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

5.
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

6.
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

7.
Fame is something that must be won. Honor is something that must not be lost.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

8.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Dickinson, Emily

9.
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

10.
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

11.
It is a short walk from the hallelujah to the hoot.
Nabokov, Vladimir

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

13.
If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

14.
If you're a misfit within a group of misfits, does that mean you're actually popular and normal?
Laura Preble

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

16.
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great

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.
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

19.
To many fame comes too late.
Camoens, Luis De

20.
I want to be famous everywhere.
Pavarotti, Luciano

21.
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

22.
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.

23.
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

24.
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Bono, Edward De

25.
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian

26.
The fame of great men ought to be judged always by the means they used to acquire it.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

27.
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.

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

29.
The love of fame is the last weakness which even the wise resign.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

30.
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

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

32.
What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
Erasmus, Desiderius

33.
Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity.
Rivarol, Antoine

34.
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra

35.
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu

36.
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

37.
The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

38.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon

39.
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria

40.
Acquaintance lessens fame.
Claudius

41.
We always hear about the haves and the have-nots. Why don't we hear about the doers and the do-nots.
Sewell, Thomas

42.
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

43.
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

44.
Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Pitt, Brad

45.
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.

46.
When you can do the common things in life in a uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
Carver, George Washington

47.
Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
Auden, W. H.

48.
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

49.
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)

50.
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
