Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
If you're a misfit within a group of misfits, does that mean you're actually popular and normal?
Laura Preble

2.
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

3.
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.

4.
The love of glory gives an immense stimulus.
Ovid

5.
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu

6.
Popularity? It is glory's small change.
Victor Hugo

7.
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra

8.
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

9.
In the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.
Mills, C. Wright

10.
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

11.
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

12.
Time hath a wallet at his back, wherein he puts. Alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes.
Shakespeare, William

13.
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

14.
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

15.
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

16.
Few people rise to our esteem upon closer scrutiny.
Proverb, French

17.
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

18.
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Huxley, Aldous

19.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon

20.
When you can do the common things in life in a uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
Carver, George Washington

21.
The fame of great men ought to be judged always by the means they used to acquire it.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

22.
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

23.
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

24.
Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
Auden, W. H.

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.
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

27.
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Bono, Edward De

28.
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

29.
The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

30.
A sign of celebrity is often that their name is worth more than their services.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

31.
There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.
Franklin, Benjamin

32.
Fame is the thirst of youth.
Byron, Lord

33.
What a heavy burden is a name that has become famous too soon.
Voltaire

34.
Fame is a constant effort
Renard, Jules

35.
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria

36.
Fame is proof that the people are gullible.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

37.
What's fame? a fancy'd life in other's breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death.
Pope, Alexander

38.
It is a wretched thing to live on the fame of others.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

39.
Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent.
Shakespeare, William

40.
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

41.
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great

42.
To many fame comes too late.
Camoens, Luis De

43.
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

44.
What desire for fame attends both great and small; better be damned than mentioned not at all!
Wolcot, John

45.
If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

46.
A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.
Davis, Miles

47.
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

48.
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

49.
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder

50.
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius
