Fame

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
Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil

2.
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

3.
If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

4.
The love of fame is the last weakness which even the wise resign.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

5.
Even the best things are not equal to their fame.
Thoreau, Henry David

6.
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

7.
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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught.
William Shakespeare

11.
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra

12.
Fame is only good for one thing-they will cash your check in a small town.
Capote, Truman

13.
Happy is the man who hath never known what it is to taste of fame --to have it is a purgatory, to want it is a Hell!
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

14.
You can't choose what you're famous for in life.
Dave Kellett

15.
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
Davis, Bette

16.
Men's fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.
Villiers, George

17.
Fame has also this great drawback, that if we pursue it, we must direct our lives so as to please the fancy of men.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)

18.
Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Pitt, Brad

19.
I want to be famous everywhere.
Pavarotti, Luciano

20.
Time hath a wallet at his back, wherein he puts. Alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes.
Shakespeare, William

21.
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

22.
Fame is a constant effort
Renard, Jules

23.
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.

24.
What a heavy burden is a name that has become famous too soon.
Voltaire

25.
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

26.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Dickinson, Emily

27.
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

28.
Sometimes I wish I weren't famous.
Wynette, Tammy

29.
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Bono, Edward De

30.
Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent.
Shakespeare, William

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

33.
If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

34.
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Cicero, Marcus T.

35.
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.

36.
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

37.
What desire for fame attends both great and small; better be damned than mentioned not at all!
Wolcot, John

38.
Fame is proof that the people are gullible.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

39.
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

40.
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

41.
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

42.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil

43.
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

44.
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

45.
I was the only one there I never heard of.
Farber, Barry J.

46.
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu

47.
Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
Auden, W. H.

48.
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Huxley, Aldous

49.
There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who let well enough alone.
Ellinger, Jules

50.
