All is ephemeral,--fame and the famous as well. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. 121-180 A. D.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
Longfellow - A Psalm of Life
The fame of great men ought to be judged always by the means they used to acquire it. --- Francois de La Rochefoucauld
The desire for fame is the last infirmity cast off even by the wise.-- Cornelius Tacitus, Histories
