Memory

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

Memory Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Memory

1.
Memory is the only paradise from which we cannot be driven.
Paul, Jean

2.
We don't remember days; we remember moments.
Pavese, Cesare

3.
Leftovers in their less visible form are called memories. Stored in the refrigerator of the mind and the cupboard of the heart.
Fulghum, Robert

4.
People with good memories seldom remember anything worth remembering.

5.
One lives in the world's memory only by what they have done in the world's behalf.
Proverb

6.
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

7.
When you are right no one remembers; when you are wrong no one forgets.
Proverb, Irish

8.
The effectiveness of our memory banks is determined not by the total number of facts we take in, but the number we wish to reject.
Wynne-Tyson, Jon

9.
It is said that God gave us memory so we could have roses in winter. But it is also true that without memory we could not have self in any season. The more memories you have, the more you have. That is why, as Swift said, No wise man ever wished to be younger.
Will, George F.

10.
The best memory is that which forgets nothing, but injuries. Write kindness in marble and write injuries in the dust.
Proverb, Persian

11.
Observation is an old man's memory.
Swift, Jonathan

12.
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

13.
It is surprising how much of memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.
Kingsolver, Barbara

14.
Lord, keep my memory green.
Dickens, Charles

15.
I would forget it fain; But, O, it presses to my memory, like damned guilty deeds to a sinners mind.
William Shakespeare

16.
We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.
Didion, Joan

17.
Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.
Kempis, Thomas

18.
Memory: We retain: 10 percent of what we read; 20 percent of what we hear; 30 percent of what we see ?50 percent of what we hear and see; 70 percent of what we say; 90 percent of what we say and do

19.
Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.
Connolly, Cyril

20.
Unless we remember we cannot understand.
Forster, Edward M.

21.
We have all forgot more than we remember.
Fuller, Thomas

22.
If I could remember your name, I'd ask you where I left my keys.
Bumper Sticker

23.
Sweet is the memory of past troubles.
Cicero, Marcus T.

24.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche

25.
It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a luster obliterates. There is little distinct left without an effort of memory, then indeed the lights are rekindled for a moment --but who can be sure that the Imagination is not the torch-bearer?
Byron, Lord

26.
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

27.
Remembrance and reflection how allied. What thin partitions divides sense from thought.
Pope, Alexander

28.
When one of these flashbacks was reported to me by a conscious patient, I was incredulous. For example, when a mother told me she was suddenly aware, as my electrode touched the cortex, of being in the kitchen listening to the voice of her little boy who was playing outside in the yard.
Penfield, Wilder

29.
The more connections that can be made in the brain, the more integrated the experience is within memory.
Campbell, Don

30.
When wasteful war shall statues overturn, And broils root out the work of masonry, Nor Mars his sword nor wars quick fire shall burn The living record of your memory.
William Shakespeare

31.
What is read twice is usually remembered more than what is once written.
Johnson, Samuel

32.
Paradoxically one of the greatest advantages of mind maps is that they are seldom needed again. The very act of constructing a map is itself so effective in fixing ideas in memory that very often a whole map can recalled without going back to it at all. A mind map is so strongly visual and uses so many of the natural functions of memory that frequently it can be simply read off in the mind's eye.
Russell, Peter

33.
Memories are all we really own.
Lieberman, Elias

34.
Memory is the scribe of the soul.
Aristotle

35.
But each day brings its petty dust our soon-choked souls to fill, and we forget because we must, and not because we will.
Arnold, Matthew

36.
Those who cannot remember the past will spend a lot of time looking for their cars in mall parking lots.
Trachman, Jay

37.
He who is not very strong in memory should not meddle with lying.
Michel de Montaigne

38.
Never forget what you need to remember.
Bartley, Garrett

39.
Memory is the cabinet of the imagination, the treasury of reason, the registry of conscience, and, the council chamber of thought.
Basile

40.
A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.
Herbert, George

41.
You are told a lot about your education, but some beautiful, sacred memory, preserved since childhood, is perhaps the best education of all. If a man carries many such memories into life with him, he is saved for the rest of his days. And even if only one good memory is left in our hearts, it may also be the instrument of our salvation one day.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

42.
Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.
Cicero, Marcus T.

43.
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

44.
If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.
Fermi, Enrico

45.
The palest ink lasts longer than the most retentive memory.
Proverb, Chinese

46.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Wilde, Oscar

47.
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

48.
Time -- our youth -- it never really goes, does it? It is all held in our minds.
Santmyer, Helen Hoover

49.
There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.
Dante Alighieri

50.
Don't remember what you can infer.
Tennant, Harry
