“Prostrate on earth the bleeding warrior lies, And Isr'el's beauty on the mountains dies. How are the mighty fallen! Hush'd be my sorrow, gently fall my tears, Lest my sad tale should reach the alien's ears: Bid Fame be dumb, and tremble to proclaim In heathen Gath, or Ascalon, our shame Lest proud Philistia, lest our haughty foe, With impious scorn insult our solemn woe.” ShouldEarthLyingDiesFallTearsProudSorrowFameMountainEarsShameTalesWarriorAliensDumbFallenInsultWoeFoeScornSolemnBleedingHushHeathenHaughty Author:William Somervile
“When you have success on the field, you're more popular and you have that fame that comes with it. You realize you're in the public eye more and you've got to be a little bit more careful about some of the things you're doing out in public and make sure you're smart about the things you say. You're still going to make mistakes from time to time, but you represent an even greater population and people are that much more looking for you to be in the wrong place at the wrong time or fall down or say something really stupid that's going to get you in trouble.” PeopleLittlesStillsEyeFallBitsRealizingMistakeGreaterTroubleStupidFieldsFameLittle BitSmartPopulationCarefulMaking MistakesFalling DownPublic EyeWrong TimeReally Stupid Author:Aaron Rodgers
“Rash combat oft immortalizes man; if he should fall, he is renowned in song; but after-ages reckon not the ceaseless tears which the forsaken woman sheds.

“Fame often rests at first upon something accidental, and often, too, is swept away, or for a time removed; but neither genius nor glory, is conferred at once, nor do they glimmer and fall, like drops in a grotto, at a shout.” FirstsFallGeniusFameGlorySwept Away Book:Selections from the Writings of Walter Savage Landor Source: Selections from the Writings of Walter Savage Landor
“Water and air He for the Tenor chose, Earth made the Base, the Treble Fame arose, To th' active Moon a quick brisk stroke he gave, To Saturn's string a touch more sore and grave. The motions strait, and round, and swift, and slow, And short and long, were mixt and woven so, Did in such artful Figures smoothly fall, As made this decent measur'd dance of all. And this is Musick.” LongMadeEarthFallWaterMusicAirFiguresFameMoonRoundsActiveGravesDecentStringsStrokesWovenTenorsSaturn Author:Abraham Cowley
