Motivational Quotes
Fame
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.
Best Quotes about Fame
The strongest poison ever known came from Caesar's laurel crown.
Blake, William
Fame is something that must be won. Honor is something that must not be lost.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
I had it all and blew it.
Mantle, Mickey
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 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
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
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
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
To many fame comes too late.
Camoens, Luis De
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
The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect.
Sade, Marquis De
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great
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
The fame of great men ought to be judged always by the means they used to acquire it.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
To become a celebrity is to become a brand name. There is Ivory Soap, Rice Krispies, and Philip Roth. Ivory is the soap that floats; Rice Krispies the breakfast cereal that goes snap-crackle-pop; Philip Roth the Jew who masturbates with a piece of liver.
Roth, Philip
What desire for fame attends both great and small; better be damned than mentioned not at all!
Wolcot, John
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Sometimes I wish I weren't famous.
Wynette, Tammy
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
What a heavy burden is a name that has become famous too soon.
Voltaire
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
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
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 hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil
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
I won't be happy till I'm as famous as God.
Madonna
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
Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught.
William Shakespeare
We always hear about the haves and the have-nots. Why don't we hear about the doers and the do-nots.
Sewell, Thomas
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
If you're a misfit within a group of misfits, does that mean you're actually popular and normal?
Laura Preble
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
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
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
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris
Fame is a constant effort
Renard, Jules
It is a wretched thing to live on the fame of others.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
Few people rise to our esteem upon closer scrutiny.
Proverb, French
The love of fame is the last weakness which even the wise resign.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Pitt, Brad
Time hath a wallet at his back, wherein he puts. Alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes.
Shakespeare, William
Popularity? It is glory's small change.
Victor Hugo
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
Acquaintance lessens fame.
Claudius
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius
