Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or collections:

    Let the famous not denounce fame. Far from being empty and meaningless, it fills those it touches with divine power.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters: they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
