Motivational Quotes
Fame
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.

Best Quotes about Fame
I had it all and blew it.
Mantle, Mickey
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil
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
Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught.
William Shakespeare
The present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
What's fame? a fancy'd life in other's breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death.
Pope, Alexander
Acquaintance lessens fame.
Claudius
My great comfort is, that the temporary celebrity I have wrung from the world has been in the very teeth of all opinions and prejudices. I have flattered no ruling powers; I have never concealed a single thought that tempted me.
Byron, Lord
I won't be happy till I'm as famous as God.
Madonna
Fame is proof that the people are gullible.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil
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
Popular applause veers with the wind.
Bright, John
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
Even the best things are not equal to their fame.
Thoreau, Henry David
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
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Huxley, Aldous
What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
What a heavy burden is a name that has become famous too soon.
Voltaire
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.
I want to be famous everywhere.
Pavarotti, Luciano
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
Fame is the thirst of youth.
Byron, Lord
When you can do the common things in life in a uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
Carver, George Washington
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
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)
It is a wretched thing to live on the fame of others.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
We always hear about the haves and the have-nots. Why don't we hear about the doers and the do-nots.
Sewell, Thomas
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
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Bono, Edward De
Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being somebody, to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his over-animation. One can either see or be seen.
Updike, John
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
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
You can't choose what you're famous for in life.
Dave Kellett
The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
The love of glory gives an immense stimulus.
Ovid
If you're a misfit within a group of misfits, does that mean you're actually popular and normal?
Laura Preble
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
Davis, Bette
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
What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
Erasmus, Desiderius
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.
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
Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent.
Shakespeare, William
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
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
The love of fame is the last weakness which even the wise resign.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
Fame is something that must be won. Honor is something that must not be lost.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
