- Morrison, Van
Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

Picasso, Pablo

12.
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder

Roth, Philip

14.
If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.

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

What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

20.
A sign of celebrity is often that their name is worth more than their services.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

21.
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

22.
The day will come when everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.
Warhol, Andy

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

The present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

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

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

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

Renard, Jules

31.
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

32.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil

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

34.
In the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.
Mills, C. Wright

35.
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

36.
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

37.
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil

38.
The difference between great celebrities and the unknown is the former failed and yet went at it again; the latter gave up in despair.

39.
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

40.
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great

41.
Fame is the thirst of youth.
Byron, Lord

42.
A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.
Davis, Miles

43.
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.

44.
It often happens that those of whom we speak least on earth are best known in heaven.
Caussin, Nicolas

45.
Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent.
Shakespeare, William

46.
Fame is the echo of actions, resounding them to the world, save that the echo repeats only the last art, but fame relates all, and often more than all.
Fuller, Thomas

47.
The love of glory gives an immense stimulus.
Ovid

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
