Quotations for obtaining

Misers mistake gold for their good; whereas it is only the means of obtaining it. [ Rochefoucauld ]

Great minds had rather deserve contemporaneous applause without obtaining it, than obtain without deserving it. [ Colton ]

Fame is not won on downy plumes nor under canopies; the man who consumes his days without obtaining it leaves such mark of himself on earth as smoke in air or foam on water. [ Dante ]

Were not this desire of fame very strong, the difficulty of obtaining it, and the danger of losing it when obtained, would be sufficient to deter a man from so vain a pursuit. [ Addison ]
