Fame, wealth, and honour! what are you to Love?

Alexander Pope

Love, when it came and knocked on my door, was going to be enough. And that unknown author who'd written that if you had fame, it was not enough, and if you had wealth as well, it was still not enough, and if you had fame, wealth, and also love ... still it was not enough - boy, did I feel sorry for him.

Virginia C. Andrews

I never had a single thing handed to me. I had to fight for everything I wanted, like my education.

Susan Fowler

Low class men desire wealth;middle class men both wealth and respect; but the noble, honour only; hence honour is the noble man's true wealth.

Chanakya

2007 began on a high for me because I had the honour of having my name added the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame.

Halle Berry

I don't want anything handed to me, I want to work for everything I have... that's the way I've done everything in my life.

Christian Cage

I thought I had everything going for me. I wasn't listening to nobody. And my dad was like, 'Uh-uh, you can't make money from music. You have to be a doctor, a lawyer, engineer. Something that's going to do something for this world. Music doesn't do anything.' And I had to fight that, his passion, and fight the society that I was from.

Jidenna

Music has given me great solace in my times of hardship. It has also brought me fame and wealth, and I owe everything to music.

Asha Bhosle

All my life I had to fight. I had to fight my daddy. I had to fight my uncles. I had to fight my brothers. Girl, child ain't safe in a family of men, but I ain't never thought I had to fight in my own house. I loves Harpo. God knows I do. But I'll kill him dead before I let him beat me.

Alice Walker

The sculptor will chip off all unnecessary material to set free the angel. Nature will chip and pound us remorselessly to bring out our possibilities. She will strip us of wealth, humble our pride, humiliate our ambition, let us down from the ladder of fame, will discipline us in a thousand ways, if she can develop a little character. Everything must give way to that. Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, fame is nothing, manhood is everything.

Orison Swett Marden

We fight not for glory, nor for wealth, nor honour but only and alone for freedom which no good man surrenders but with his life.

Robert the Bruce

It was a great honour to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I didn't know they had a caddie division.

Bob Hope

Ah woe is me, through all my daysWisdom and wealth I both have got,And fame and name and great men's praise;But Love, ah! Love I have it not.

Henry Cuyler Bunner

This is why people love to watch me, is because I fight. I'm here to fight. I'm not here trying to protect anything, not trying to protect a legacy or anything. I'm here to fight.

Urijah Faber

Love is not a feeling to pass away Like the balmy breath of a Summer's day....... Love is not a passion of earthly mould As a thirst for honour, or fame, or gold
