Best Quotes about Fame

1.
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don

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

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

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

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

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

7.
Popularity? It is glory's small change.
Victor Hugo

8.
Men's fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.
Villiers, George

9.
Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole.
Baum, Vicki

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

11.
Popular applause veers with the wind.
Bright, John

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

13.
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.

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

15.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon

16.
Fame is only good for one thing-they will cash your check in a small town.
Capote, Truman

17.
The difference between great celebrities and the unknown is the former failed and yet went at it again; the latter gave up in despair.

18.
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

19.
It often happens that those of whom we speak least on earth are best known in heaven.
Caussin, Nicolas

20.
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

21.
If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

22.
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

23.
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

24.
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

25.
The love of fame is the last weakness which even the wise resign.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

26.
Riches: A dream in the night. Fame: A gull floating on water.
Proverb, Chinese

27.
It's going to come true like you knew it, but it's not going to feel like you think.
Rosie O'Donnell

28.
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Bono, Edward De

29.
The strongest poison ever known came from Caesar's laurel crown.
Blake, William

30.
I was the only one there I never heard of.
Farber, Barry J.

31.
Fame is proof that the people are gullible.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

32.
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.

33.
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

34.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil

35.
Acquaintance lessens fame.
Claudius

36.
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius

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

44.
Time hath a wallet at his back, wherein he puts. Alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes.
Shakespeare, William

45.
It is dangerous to let the public behind the scenes. They are easily disillusioned and then they are angry with you, for it was the illusion they loved.

Bacon, Francis
