Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don't care about fame, I don't care about being a celebrity. I know that's part of the job, but I don't feed into anyone's idea of who I should be.
Jessica Alba

2.
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria

3.
If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

4.
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder

5.
Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity.
Rivarol, Antoine

6.
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.

7.
It is a wretched thing to live on the fame of others.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

8.
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

9.
Fame will go by and, so long, I've had you, fame. If it goes by, I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experienced, but that's not where I live.
Monroe, Marilyn

10.
The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect.
Sade, Marquis De

11.
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.

12.
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

13.
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Cicero, Marcus T.

14.
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

15.
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

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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

20.
To many fame comes too late.
Camoens, Luis De

21.
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
Davis, Bette

22.
Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught.
William Shakespeare

23.
You can't choose what you're famous for in life.
Dave Kellett

24.
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

25.
All the fame you should look for in life is to have lived it quietly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

26.
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu

27.
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

28.
Popular applause veers with the wind.
Bright, John

29.
Riches: A dream in the night. Fame: A gull floating on water.
Proverb, Chinese

30.
The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

31.
There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!
Hazlitt, William

32.
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

33.
There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who let well enough alone.
Ellinger, Jules

34.
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

35.
Popularity? It is glory's small change.
Victor Hugo

36.
The present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

37.
It's going to come true like you knew it, but it's not going to feel like you think.
Rosie O'Donnell

38.
The difference between great celebrities and the unknown is the former failed and yet went at it again; the latter gave up in despair.

39.
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

40.
Fame is only good for one thing-they will cash your check in a small town.
Capote, Truman

41.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon

42.
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

43.
The day will come when everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.
Warhol, Andy

44.
Sometimes I wish I weren't famous.
Wynette, Tammy

45.
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

46.
Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent.
Shakespeare, William

47.
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

48.
What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

49.
We always hear about the haves and the have-nots. Why don't we hear about the doers and the do-nots.
Sewell, Thomas

50.
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
