Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
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

2.
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

3.
It often happens that those of whom we speak least on earth are best known in heaven.
Caussin, Nicolas

4.
Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity.
Rivarol, Antoine

5.
I won't be happy till I'm as famous as God.
Madonna

6.
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu

7.
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

8.
All the fame you should look for in life is to have lived it quietly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

9.
The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect.
Sade, Marquis De

10.
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

11.
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

12.
The day will come when everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.
Warhol, Andy

13.
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

14.
Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Pitt, Brad

15.
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

16.
I'm a bit of an abstract figure that people can project their fantasies on; it's pretty much what we all are, otherwise we wouldn't be stars, and people wouldn't be interested. But people project things on you that have nothing to do with what you really are, or they see a little something and then exaggerate it. And you can't really control that.
Salma Hayek

17.
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris

18.
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

19.
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don

20.
You can't choose what you're famous for in life.
Dave Kellett

21.
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius

22.
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

23.
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

24.
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Cicero, Marcus T.

25.
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

26.
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.

27.
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

28.
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.

29.
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra

30.
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

31.
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

32.
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

33.
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria

34.
There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.
Franklin, Benjamin

35.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil

36.
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

37.
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

38.
Few people rise to our esteem upon closer scrutiny.
Proverb, French

39.
We always hear about the haves and the have-nots. Why don't we hear about the doers and the do-nots.
Sewell, Thomas

40.
There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who let well enough alone.
Ellinger, Jules

41.
It's going to come true like you knew it, but it's not going to feel like you think.
Rosie O'Donnell

42.
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

43.
Even the best things are not equal to their fame.
Thoreau, Henry David

44.
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

45.
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

46.
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

47.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon

48.
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

49.
Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught.
William Shakespeare

50.
Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
Auden, W. H.
