Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
Davis, Bette

2.
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don

3.
Fame is something that must be won. Honor is something that must not be lost.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

4.
Men's fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.
Villiers, George

5.
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

6.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil

7.
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian

8.
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

9.
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

10.
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

11.
You can't choose what you're famous for in life.
Dave Kellett

12.
The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect.
Sade, Marquis De

13.
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

14.
There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!
Hazlitt, William

15.
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

16.
What a heavy burden is a name that has become famous too soon.
Voltaire

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

18.
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra

19.
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

20.
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

21.
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

22.
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

23.
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Bono, Edward De

24.
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

25.
All the fame you should look for in life is to have lived it quietly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

26.
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

27.
It is a short walk from the hallelujah to the hoot.
Nabokov, Vladimir

28.
I won't be happy till I'm as famous as God.
Madonna

29.
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

30.
Few people rise to our esteem upon closer scrutiny.
Proverb, French

31.
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.

32.
Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught.
William Shakespeare

33.
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

34.
The love of glory gives an immense stimulus.
Ovid

35.
Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent.
Shakespeare, William

36.
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

37.
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder

38.
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu

39.
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

40.
It's going to come true like you knew it, but it's not going to feel like you think.
Rosie O'Donnell

41.
Fame is proof that the people are gullible.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

42.
The love of fame is the last weakness which even the wise resign.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

43.
There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.
Franklin, Benjamin

44.
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

45.
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

46.
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

47.
Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
Auden, W. H.

48.
It is a wretched thing to live on the fame of others.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

49.
I want to be famous everywhere.
Pavarotti, Luciano

50.
What's fame? a fancy'd life in other's breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death.
Pope, Alexander
