FAME

Know the difference between success and fame. Success is Mother Teresa. Fame is Madonna.

Author unknown

All is ephemeral, fame and the famous as well.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

Fame is vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.

Horace Greeley

The fame of great men ought to be judged always by the means they used to acquire it.

François de La Rochefoucauld

Lives of great men all remind us

We can make our lives sublime,

And departing, leave behind us

Footprints on the sands of time.

H.W. Longfellow

For what is fame in itself but the blast of another man’s mouth as soon passed as spoken?

Thomas More

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.

Napoleon Bonaparte

The charm of fame is so great that we like every object to which it is attached, even death.

Blaise Pascal

The highest form of vanity is love of fame.

George Santayana

The desire for fame is the last infirmity cast off even by the wise.

Cornelius Tacitus

Fame is man-given; be grateful.

John Wooden
