Motivational Quotes
Fame
Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction.
Best Quotes about Fame
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
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil
To many fame comes too late.
Camoens, Luis De
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
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
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great
Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Pitt, Brad
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
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris
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.
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
Fame is something that must be won. Honor is something that must not be lost.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
The strongest poison ever known came from Caesar's laurel crown.
Blake, William
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
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.
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
What desire for fame attends both great and small; better be damned than mentioned not at all!
Wolcot, John
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius
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
Fame is a constant effort
Renard, Jules
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
Martial, Marcus Valerius
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
The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
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
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Bono, Edward De
What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria
Time hath a wallet at his back, wherein he puts. Alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes.
Shakespeare, William
If you're a misfit within a group of misfits, does that mean you're actually popular and normal?
Laura Preble
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
Davis, Bette
It's going to come true like you knew it, but it's not going to feel like you think.
Rosie O'Donnell
There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who let well enough alone.
Ellinger, Jules
There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!
Hazlitt, William
The love of fame is the last weakness which even the wise resign.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
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
Few people rise to our esteem upon closer scrutiny.
Proverb, French
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.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil
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
Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent.
Shakespeare, William
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
What's fame? a fancy'd life in other's breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death.
Pope, Alexander
A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.
Davis, Miles
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
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
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder
