Fame Quotes - page 37
He who would acquire fame must not show himself afraid of censure. The dread of censure is the death of genius.
William Gilmore Simms
A lot of things come with fame, whether it's losing friends or losing family.
Young Jeezy
Fame and fortune are as hard to find as a lightning strike.
P. N. Elrod
But if you think that life can be prolonged by the breath of mortal fame, yet when the slow time robs you of this too, then there awaits you but a second death.
Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius
Fame is as much about luck as it is about talent, perhaps more.
Kirk Douglas
I don't need fame any more. People are less interested in me in terms of celebrity. I'm happy to see a new generation being the media focus. I'm happy my day is done. It's over.
Dan Aykroyd
To copy beauty forfeits all pretense to fame; to copy faults is want of sense.
Charles Churchill (satirist)
One of the problems with fame ... is they try to pigeonhole you... like I'm stuck with The Greening of America for the rest of my life.
Charles A. Reich
The man who lies asleep will never waken fame, and his desire and all his life drift past him like a dream, and the traces of his memory fade from time like smoke in air, or ripples on a stream.
Dante Alighieri
I am so happy and proud to learn of Hideo Nomo's election to the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame. He was quite a pitcher and competitor, but he is also a very special and caring person.
Tommy Lasorda
I wanted to. I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn't have to go far to find them.
Tiger Woods
Dead men hear no tales posthumous fame is an Irish bull.
Israel Zangwill
Man is naturally a proud Animal, and is fond of nothing more than the Breath of Fame to sooth his Vanity, and flatter his Self-Admiration.
Richard Blackmore
Fame, which is the opinion the World expresses of any Man's excellent Endowments, is the Idol to which the finest spirits have, in all Ages, burnt their Incense.
Richard Blackmore
Fame is a vapor, popularity is an accident, riches take wings, those who cheer today may curse tomorrow and only one thing endures - character.
Harry S. Truman
During the same broadcast, Blyleven asked guest Ace Young (of American Idol fame) if he "got lucky" with show host Paula Abdul.
Bert Blyleven
I know I have this level of celebrity, of fame, international, national, whatever you want to call it, but it's a pretty surreal thing to think sometimes that you're in the middle of another famous person's life and you think to yourself, 'How the hell did I get famous? What is this some weird club that we're in?'
Kevin Costner
A lot of the times with porn, it's instant fame. The only thing I can compare it to is being a child actor. You get it fast, then there's a shelf-life for it. With mainstream films, you've got to go to acting classes, you've really got to hustle, there's so much competition, but with these [porn] guys, if you're good-looking with a great body, you're in like Flynn.
John Roecker
The relation between experimentalists and theorists is often one of healthy competition for truth and less healthy competition for fame.
Alvaro De Rujula
That servile path thou nobly dost decline Of tracing word by word, and line by line; A new and nobler way thou dost pursue To make translations, and translators too; They but preserve the ashes, thou the flame, True to his sense, but truer to his fame.
John Denham
I live a wonderful life, and I lack for nothing. Maybe that does make it easier for me to say, "Be who you are" - but I always tell people they shouldn't be too impressed with wealth and fame. They shouldn't worship it. I am in this machine, but I haven't completely given my soul to it.
Salma Hayek
All natural goods perish. Riches take wings fame is a breath love is a cheat youth and health and pleasure vanish.
William James
