Fame

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
Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
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.

2.
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

3.
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

4.
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

5.
The day will come when everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.
Warhol, Andy

6.
I won't be happy till I'm as famous as God.
Madonna

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

9.
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil

10.
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

11.
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

12.
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don

13.
Sometimes I wish I weren't famous.
Wynette, Tammy

14.
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

15.
The love of glory gives an immense stimulus.
Ovid

16.
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

17.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Dickinson, Emily

18.
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

19.
To many fame comes too late.
Camoens, Luis De

20.
The fame of great men ought to be judged always by the means they used to acquire it.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

21.
If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

22.
Fame is something that must be won. Honor is something that must not be lost.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

23.
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

24.
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

25.
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

26.
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

27.
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

28.
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

29.
When you can do the common things in life in a uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
Carver, George Washington

30.
If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

31.
The difference between great celebrities and the unknown is the former failed and yet went at it again; the latter gave up in despair.

32.
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Cicero, Marcus T.

33.
Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Pitt, Brad

34.
It is a wretched thing to live on the fame of others.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

35.
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

36.
In the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.
Mills, C. Wright

37.
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

38.
The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect.
Sade, Marquis De

39.
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

40.
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

41.
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Bono, Edward De

42.
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

43.
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra

44.
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

45.
A sign of celebrity is often that their name is worth more than their services.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

46.
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder

47.
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)

48.
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

49.
What desire for fame attends both great and small; better be damned than mentioned not at all!
Wolcot, John

50.
We always hear about the haves and the have-nots. Why don't we hear about the doers and the do-nots.
Sewell, Thomas
