Other famous men, those of much talk and few deeds, soon evaporate. Action is the dignity of greatness.

Lance Armstrong, the famous cyclist and more importantly, cancer survivor, has said 'if you ever get a second chance for something, you've got to go all the way.'

The strangest part about being famous is you don't get to give first impressions anymore. Everyone already has an impression of you before you meet them.

I have no interest in Shakespeare and all that British nonsense... I just wanted to get famous and all the rest is hogwash.

I certainly don't think you need to be famous to want to leave a legacy, but when you are famous, it's even more likely that your child will get the wrong perspective on your life if you die prematurely.
