It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.
Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
Fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen, and drowns things weighty and solid.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Fame is a vapor; popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivion.
