Best Quotes about Fame
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil
Acquaintance lessens fame.
Claudius
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
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 do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
Martial, Marcus Valerius
I won't be happy till I'm as famous as God.
Madonna
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
Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity.
Rivarol, Antoine
I had it all and blew it.
Mantle, Mickey
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris
There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who let well enough alone.
Ellinger, Jules
The love of glory gives an immense stimulus.
Ovid
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Dickinson, Emily
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil
What desire for fame attends both great and small; better be damned than mentioned not at all!
Wolcot, John
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu
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
Time hath a wallet at his back, wherein he puts. Alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes.
Shakespeare, William
Now there is fame! Of all -- hunger, misery, the incomprehension by the public -- fame is by far the worst. It is the castigation of God by the artist. It is sad. It is true.
Picasso, Pablo
The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect.
Sade, Marquis De
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
I was the only one there I never heard of.
Farber, Barry J.
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.
Davis, Miles
A sign of celebrity is often that their name is worth more than their services.
Boorstin, Daniel J.
Fame is proof that the people are gullible.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Men's fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.
Villiers, George
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder
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
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
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
Davis, Bette
The love of fame is the last weakness which even the wise resign.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
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
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
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
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius
Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole.
Baum, Vicki
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
The strongest poison ever known came from Caesar's laurel crown.
Blake, William
The difference between great celebrities and the unknown is the former failed and yet went at it again; the latter gave up in despair.
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
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
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
To many fame comes too late.
Camoens, Luis De
I want to be famous everywhere.
Pavarotti, Luciano
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great
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
There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.
Franklin, Benjamin
What a heavy burden is a name that has become famous too soon.
Voltaire
