Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.

The charm of fame is so great that we like every object to which it is attached, even death. There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about. If there is not the war, you don't get the great general; if there is not a great occasion, you don't get a great statesman; if Lincoln had lived in a time of peace, no one would have known his name. Do not pay too much attention to money fame or power someday you'll meet person who cares for none of these and then you'll know how poor you're. The truest fame, the fame that comes after death, is never heard of by its recipient; and yet he is called a happy man.
