Fame Quotes
-
That's what fame is: solitude.
Coco Chanel
-
In thee thy mother dies, our household's name, My death's revenge, thy youth, and England's fame.
William Shakespeare
-
The main downside was that it fame happened so quickly and I didn't have time to establish what kind of person I wanted to be.
George Michael
-
You, methinks you think you love me well;
For me, I love you somewhat; rest: and Love
Should have some rest and pleasure in himself,
Not ever be too curious for a boon,
Too prurient for a proof against the grain
Of him ye say ye love: but Fame with men,
Being but ampler means to serve mankind,
Should have small rest or pleasure in herself,
But work as vassal to the larger love,
That dwarfs the petty love of one to one.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
-
He that will sell his fame will also sell the public interest.
Solon
-
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Horace Greeley
-
I was the first American citizen to be elected to Congress in spite of the double drawbacks of being female and having skin darkened by melanin. When you put it that way, it sounds like a foolish reason for fame. In a just and free society it would be foolish. That I am a national figure because I was the first person in 192 years to be at once a congressman, black and a woman proves, I think, that our society is not yet either just or free.
Shirley Chisholm
-
The most distinctive characteristic which differentiates mathematics from the various branches of empirical science, and which accounts for its fame as the queen of the sciences, is no doubt the peculiar certainty and necessity of its results.
Carl Gustav Hempel
-
You're asking the wrong girl about fame. I'm hardly famous. I wouldn't want to trade places with anyone else.
Nikki Cox
-
Fame is a skittish jade, more fickle even than Fortune, and apt to shy, and bolt, and plunge away on very trifling causes.
Anthony Trollope
-
Other men have acquired fame by industry, but this man by indolence.
Tacitus
-
Fame is a silly business. People who chase it are almost always going to be disappointed.
Tom Conti
