Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

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

3.
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

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

Voltaire

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

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

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

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

16.
Sometimes I wish I weren't famous.
Wynette, Tammy

17.
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

18.
The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

19.
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil

Lautreamont, Isidore Ducasse, Comte De

22.
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

23.
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

24.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon

25.
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

26.
Popularity? It is glory's small change.
Victor Hugo

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

29.
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

30.
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

31.
People should realize we're jerks just like them.

37.
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria

38.
If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

39.
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris

40.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil

41.
To many fame comes too late.
Camoens, Luis De
