A sign of celebrity is often that their name is worth more than their services.

A sign of celebrity is that his name is often worth more than his services

The celebrity is a person who is known for his well-knownness.

Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety.

If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing late

In the twentieth century our highest praise is to call the Bible 'The World's Best Seller.' And it has come to be more and more difficult to say whether we think it is a best seller because it is great, or vice versa.
