About this Quote

This quote by Thomas Fuller talks to the power of popularity and how it can shape our lives. Fame is an echo of our actions, resounding them to the world. However, unlike an echo, fame does not just repeat the last action, but rather it relates all of our actions, and typically more than all. This suggests that popularity is an effective force that can shape our lives and our credibilities. It is a reflection of our actions, and can be utilized to either build us up or tear us down. Fame can be a double-edged sword, and it is very important to be conscious of how our actions can shape our track records. We must strive to ensure that our actions are favorable and that our track records reflect our true character.
