Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
Acquaintance lessens fame.
Claudius

2.
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
Davis, Bette

3.
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

4.
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

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

6.
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

7.
Even the best things are not equal to their fame.
Thoreau, Henry David

8.
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

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.
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

11.
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

12.
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

13.
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

14.
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Bono, Edward De

15.
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

16.
The love of glory gives an immense stimulus.
Ovid

17.
Sometimes I wish I weren't famous.
Wynette, Tammy

18.
There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who let well enough alone.
Ellinger, Jules

19.
If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

20.
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

21.
Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Pitt, Brad

22.
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

23.
There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.
Franklin, Benjamin

24.
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.

25.
What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
Erasmus, Desiderius

26.
What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

27.
It is a wretched thing to live on the fame of others.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

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

30.
Now there is fame! Of all -- hunger, misery, the incomprehension by the public -- fame is by far the worst. It is the castigation of God by the artist. It is sad. It is true.
Picasso, Pablo

31.
What a heavy burden is a name that has become famous too soon.
Voltaire

32.
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil

33.
It's going to come true like you knew it, but it's not going to feel like you think.
Rosie O'Donnell

34.
The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect.
Sade, Marquis De

35.
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Huxley, Aldous

36.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Dickinson, Emily

37.
It often happens that those of whom we speak least on earth are best known in heaven.
Caussin, Nicolas

38.
The strongest poison ever known came from Caesar's laurel crown.
Blake, William

39.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon

40.
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

41.
The fame of great men ought to be judged always by the means they used to acquire it.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

42.
Riches: A dream in the night. Fame: A gull floating on water.
Proverb, Chinese

43.
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)

44.
Few people rise to our esteem upon closer scrutiny.
Proverb, French

45.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil

46.
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

47.
You can't choose what you're famous for in life.
Dave Kellett

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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.
