Fame

• “Let the cymbals of popularity tinkle still. Let the butterflies of fame glitter with their wings. I shall envy neither their music nor their colors.”

• “It goes against the grain for me to do what so often happens, to speak inhumanly about the great as if a few millennia were an immense distance. I prefer to speak humanly about it, as if it happened yesterday, and let only the greatness itself be the distance.”

• “One who seeks fame and thereby loses his real self is no gentleman.”

• “The temple of fame stands upon the grave: the flame that burns upon its altars is kindled from the ashes of dead men.”

• “He lives in fame, that died in virtue's cause.”

• “How idle a boast, after all, is the immortality of a name! Time is ever silently turning over his pages; we are too much engrossed by the story of the present to think of the character and anecdotes that gave interest to the past; and each age is a volume thrown aside and forgotten.”
