Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

2.
Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.
Morrison, Van

3.
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

4.
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

5.
It is a short walk from the hallelujah to the hoot.
Nabokov, Vladimir

6.
There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!
Hazlitt, William

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

8.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon

9.
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

10.
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

11.
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

12.
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian

13.
If you're holding out for universal popularity, I'm afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time.
J. K. Rowling

14.
What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
Erasmus, Desiderius

15.
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius

16.
Acquaintance lessens fame.
Claudius

17.
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

18.
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

19.
Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

20.
Popularity? It is glory's small change.
Victor Hugo

21.
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

22.
Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent.
Shakespeare, William

23.
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

24.
Fame is proof that the people are gullible.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

25.
Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity.
Rivarol, Antoine

26.
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

27.
Riches: A dream in the night. Fame: A gull floating on water.
Proverb, Chinese

28.
Even the best things are not equal to their fame.
Thoreau, Henry David

29.
It is a wretched thing to live on the fame of others.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

30.
There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who let well enough alone.
Ellinger, Jules

31.
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

32.
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder

33.
A sign of celebrity is often that their name is worth more than their services.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

34.
Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Pitt, Brad

35.
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

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

37.
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

38.
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

39.
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Huxley, Aldous

40.
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

41.
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

42.
Time hath a wallet at his back, wherein he puts. Alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes.
Shakespeare, William

43.
All the fame you should look for in life is to have lived it quietly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

44.
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

45.
The difference between great celebrities and the unknown is the former failed and yet went at it again; the latter gave up in despair.

46.
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

47.
The fame of great men ought to be judged always by the means they used to acquire it.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

48.
The love of glory gives an immense stimulus.
Ovid

49.
Fame is the thirst of youth.
Byron, Lord

50.
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
