Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
Sometimes I wish I weren't famous.
Wynette, Tammy

2.
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

3.
The love of glory gives an immense stimulus.
Ovid

4.
I want to be famous everywhere.
Pavarotti, Luciano

5.
The love of the famous, like all strong passions, is quite abstract. Its intensity can be measured mathematically, and it is independent of persons.
Sontag, Susan

6.
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

7.
I was the only one there I never heard of.
Farber, Barry J.

8.
The love of fame is the last weakness which even the wise resign.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

9.
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu

10.
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil

11.
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris

12.
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

13.
Fame is proof that the people are gullible.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

14.
If you're a misfit within a group of misfits, does that mean you're actually popular and normal?
Laura Preble

15.
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.

16.
We always hear about the haves and the have-nots. Why don't we hear about the doers and the do-nots.
Sewell, Thomas

17.
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great

18.
The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect.
Sade, Marquis De

19.
It is a short walk from the hallelujah to the hoot.
Nabokov, Vladimir

20.
Fame is something that must be won. Honor is something that must not be lost.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

21.
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

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.
Popular applause veers with the wind.
Bright, John

24.
There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.
Franklin, Benjamin

25.
Renown? I've already got more of it than those I respect, and will never have as much as those for whom I feel contempt..
Rostand, Jean

26.
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

27.
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

28.
Fame is only good for one thing-they will cash your check in a small town.
Capote, Truman

29.
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

30.
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

31.
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don

32.
The present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

33.
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

34.
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

35.
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

36.
Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
Auden, W. H.

37.
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

38.
What desire for fame attends both great and small; better be damned than mentioned not at all!
Wolcot, John

39.
In the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.
Mills, C. Wright

40.
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

41.
Acquaintance lessens fame.
Claudius

42.
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

43.
I had it all and blew it.
Mantle, Mickey

44.
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.

45.
The strongest poison ever known came from Caesar's laurel crown.
Blake, William

46.
Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole.
Baum, Vicki

47.
When you can do the common things in life in a uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
Carver, George Washington

48.
All the fame you should look for in life is to have lived it quietly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

49.
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian

50.
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
