Quotations for posthumous

And yet, after all, what is posthumous fame? Altogether vanity. [ Antoninus ]

The desire of posthumous fame and the dread of posthumous reproach and execration are feelings from the influence of which scarcely any man is perfectly free, and which in many men are powerful and constant motives of action. [ Macaulay ]
