Petula Clark/international Fame

Famous quotes containing the words clark and/or fame:

    The measure of your quality as a public person, as a citizen, is the gap between what you do and what you say.
    —Ramsey Clark (b. 1927)

    Fame sometimes hath created something out of nothing. She hath made whole countries more than nature ever did, especially near the poles, and then hath peopled them likewise with inhabitants of her own invention, pigmies, giants, and amazons: yea, fame is sometimes like unto a mushroom, which Pliny recounts to be the greatest miracle in nature, because growing and having no root, as fame no ground of her reports.
    Thomas Fuller (1608–1661)
