Fame

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



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
I want to be famous everywhere.
Pavarotti, Luciano

2.
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

3.
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

4.
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

5.
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.

6.
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don

7.
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

8.
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian

9.
Of present fame think little, and of future less; the praises that we receive after we are buried, like the flowers that are strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead.
Colton, Charles Caleb

10.
The present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

11.
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

12.
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris

13.
We always hear about the haves and the have-nots. Why don't we hear about the doers and the do-nots.
Sewell, Thomas

14.
The difference between great celebrities and the unknown is the former failed and yet went at it again; the latter gave up in despair.

15.
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.

16.
I think the promise of fame and what it holds to you as a child and dreaming of it is not what it is. What it is, I'm not complaining about, but it's just different than the reality you dreamed.
Rosie O'Donnell

17.
Fame is the thirst of youth.
Byron, Lord

18.
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

19.
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

20.
What's fame? a fancy'd life in other's breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death.
Pope, Alexander

21.
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

22.
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

23.
It often happens that those of whom we speak least on earth are best known in heaven.
Caussin, Nicolas

24.
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

25.
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

26.
What a heavy burden is a name that has become famous too soon.
Voltaire

27.
When you can do the common things in life in a uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
Carver, George Washington

28.
Popular applause veers with the wind.
Bright, John

29.
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu

30.
Fame is a constant effort
Renard, Jules

31.
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

32.
Time hath a wallet at his back, wherein he puts. Alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes.
Shakespeare, William

33.
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius

34.
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

35.
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

36.
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

37.
My great comfort is, that the temporary celebrity I have wrung from the world has been in the very teeth of all opinions and prejudices. I have flattered no ruling powers; I have never concealed a single thought that tempted me.
Byron, Lord

38.
Fame is something that must be won. Honor is something that must not be lost.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

39.
There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who let well enough alone.
Ellinger, Jules

40.
The love of glory gives an immense stimulus.
Ovid

41.
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.

42.
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

43.
Riches: A dream in the night. Fame: A gull floating on water.
Proverb, Chinese

44.
In the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.
Mills, C. Wright

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

46.
Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught.
William Shakespeare

47.
The love of fame is the last weakness which even the wise resign.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

48.
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

49.
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

50.
A sign of celebrity is often that their name is worth more than their services.
Boorstin, Daniel J.
