Fame is a vapor; popularity an accident; riches take wings; the only earthly certainty is oblivion.
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivion.
The only thing that endures is character. Fame and wealth-all that is illusion. All that endures is character.
Money takes wings. The only thing that endures is character.
All natural goods perish. Riches take wings; fame is a breath; love is a cheat; youth and health and pleasure vanish.

If you are born with fame, it is an accident. If you die with fame, it is an achievement.
If you have fame, you never feel that you have fame, if you have the brains of a flea. Because fame is something that's over back of you. It ain't ahead.... Not ahead at all. I mean, if you've done it that's great, but "what are you going to do now?" is the only thing that matters.
The Scythians take kannabis seed, creep in under the felts, and throw it on the red-hot stones. It smolders and sends up such billows of steam-smoke that no Greek vapor bath can surpass it. The Scythians howl with joy in these vapor-baths, which serve them instead of bathing, for they never wash their bodies with water.
Fame, we may understand, is no sure test of merit, but only a probability of such; it is an accident, not a property of man.
It never really felt like I had a lot of substance in my life. I had broken up with my former husband (Ron Samuels) and I kind of looked around. I didn't have a lot of friends. I had become isolated by fame. I longed for a family and some substantive relationships. Fame is a vapor. You can't grab hold of it.
