The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Meaning of the quote
When you work hard and earn your own fame, it feels different and better than when fame is given to you without you doing anything to deserve it. The fame you earn through your own efforts and achievements tastes sweeter and is more meaningful than fame that is simply forced upon you without you earning it.
