Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
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)

2.
Popular applause veers with the wind.
Bright, John

3.
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

4.
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

5.
All the fame you should look for in life is to have lived it quietly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

6.
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

7.
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

8.
We always hear about the haves and the have-nots. Why don't we hear about the doers and the do-nots.
Sewell, Thomas

Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil

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

11.
Fame is a constant effort
Renard, Jules

12.
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

13.
There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!
Hazlitt, William

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

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

19.
Men's fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.
Villiers, George

20.
Throughout my life, I have seen narrow-shouldered men, without a single exception, committing innumerable stupid acts, brutalizing their fellows and perverting souls by all means. They call the motive for their actions fame.
Lautreamont, Isidore Ducasse, Comte De

21.
Fame is something that must be won. Honor is something that must not be lost.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

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

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

If you're a misfit within a group of misfits, does that mean you're actually popular and normal?
Laura Preble

25.
I won't be happy till I'm as famous as God.
Madonna

26.
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great

27.
What desire for fame attends both great and small; better be damned than mentioned not at all!
Wolcot, John

28.
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris

29.
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

30.
Riches: A dream in the night. Fame: A gull floating on water.
Proverb, Chinese

31.
Sometimes I wish I weren't famous.
Wynette, Tammy

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.
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

Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Pitt, Brad

Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Cicero, Marcus T.

36.
Popularity? It is glory's small change.
Victor Hugo

37.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Dickinson, Emily

38.
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

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.
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

41.
The day will come when everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.
Warhol, Andy

42.
Even the best things are not equal to their fame.
Thoreau, Henry David

43.
In the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.
Mills, C. Wright

44.
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.
Maugham, W. Somerset

45.
Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole.
Baum, Vicki

46.
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

47.
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

48.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil

49.

I was the only one there I never heard of.
