Memory Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Memory

1.
If I could remember your name, I'd ask you where I left my keys.
Bumper Sticker

2.
Don't remember what you can infer.
Tennant, Harry

3.
The act of smelling something, anything, is remarkably like the act of thinking. Immediately at the moment of perception, you can feel the mind going to work, sending the odor around from place to place, setting off complex repertories through the brain, polling one center after another for signs of re recognition, for old memories and old connection.
Thomas, Lewis

4.
Memory is the cabinet of the imagination, the treasury of reason, the registry of conscience, and, the council chamber of thought.
Basile

5.
To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.
Hazlitt, William

6.
If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out.
Jane Austen

7.
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David

8.
Leftovers in their less visible form are called memories. Stored in the refrigerator of the mind and the cupboard of the heart.
Fulghum, Robert

9.
Time -- our youth -- it never really goes, does it? It is all held in our minds.
Santmyer, Helen Hoover

10.
Memory is the scribe of the soul.
Aristotle

11.
The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all. I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water.
Ionesco, Eugene

12.
For the sense of smell, almost more than any other, has the power to recall memories and it is a pity that you use it so little.
Rachel Carson

13.
The selective memory isn't selective enough.
Morrison, Blake

14.
Every man's memory is his private literature.
Huxley, Aldous

15.
Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them.
Thoreau, Henry David

16.
You never know how much a man can't remember until he is called as a witness.
Rogers, Will

17.
That is my major preoccupation --memory, the kingdom of memory. I want to protect and enrich that kingdom, glorify that kingdom and serve it.
Wiesel, Elie

18.
A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.
Hubbard, Elbert

19.
Our memory is like a shop in the window of which is exposed now one, now another photograph of the same person. And as a rule the most recent exhibit remains for some time the only one to be seen.
Proust, Marcel

20.
Memory is like a purse, if it be over-full that it cannot shut, all will drop out of it. Take heed of a gluttonous curiosity to feed on many things, lest the greediness of the appetite of thy memory spoil the digestion thereof.
Fuller, Thomas

21.
Memory always obeys the commands of the heart.
Rivarol, Antoine

22.
Lord, keep my memory green.
Dickens, Charles

23.
Memories are all we really own.
Lieberman, Elias

24.
Never forget what you need to remember.
Bartley, Garrett

25.
Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is the medium of past experience, as the ground is the medium in which dead cities lie interred.
Benjamin, Walter

26.
A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial.
Fadiman, Clifton

27.
Sweet is the memory of past troubles.
Cicero, Marcus T.

28.
The charm, one might say the genius of memory, is that it is choosy, chancy, and temperamental: it rejects the edifying cathedral and indelibly photographs the small boy outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust.
Bowen, Elizabeth

29.
Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.
Connolly, Cyril

30.
The palest ink lasts longer than the most retentive memory.
Proverb, Chinese

31.
There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.
Dante Alighieri

32.
People with good memories seldom remember anything worth remembering.

33.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche

34.
Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.
Benjamin, Walter

35.
I'm still chasing girls. I don't remember what for, but I'm still chasing them.
Lewis, Joe E.

36.
I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.
Bunuel, Luis

37.
The memory should be specially taxed in youth, since it is then that it is strongest and most tenacious. But in choosing the things that should be committed to memory the utmost care and forethought must be exercised; as lessons well learnt in youth are never forgotten.
Arthur Schopenhauer

38.
Why is it that our memory is good enough to retain the least triviality that happens to us, and yet not good enough to recollect how often we have told it to the same person?
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

39.
We don't remember days; we remember moments.
Pavese, Cesare

40.
If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.
Fermi, Enrico

41.
It is surprising how much of memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.
Kingsolver, Barbara

42.
Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.
Seattle, Chief

43.
A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.
Herbert, George

44.
Those who cannot remember the past will spend a lot of time looking for their cars in mall parking lots.
Trachman, Jay

45.
The more connections that can be made in the brain, the more integrated the experience is within memory.
Campbell, Don

46.
Human memory is a marvelous but fallacious instrument. The memories which lie within us are not carved in stone; not only do they tend to become erased as the years go by, but often they change, or even increase by incorporating extraneous features.
Levi, Primo

47.
The memory of most men is an abandoned cemetery where lie, unsung and unhonored, the dead whom they have ceased to cherish. Any lasting grief is reproof to their forgetfulness.
Yourcenar, Marguerite

48.
Memory is the thing you forget with.
Chase, Alexander

49.
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not.
Mark Twain

50.
Remembrance and reflection how allied. What thin partitions divides sense from thought.
Pope, Alexander
