Memory Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Memory

1.
People tend to remember my performances, not me.
Barkin, Ellen

2.
Memory is the thing you forget with.
Chase, Alexander

3.
Contemporaries appreciate the person rather than their merit, posterity will regard the merit rather than the person.
Colton, Charles Caleb

4.
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste. Then can I drown an eye (unused to flow) For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, and weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe,and moan the expense of many a vanished sight. Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, and heavily from woe to woe tell over the sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before. But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, all losses are restored and sorrows end.
Shakespeare, William

5.
Observation is an old man's memory.
Swift, Jonathan

6.
Memory is the cabinet of the imagination, the treasury of reason, the registry of conscience, and, the council chamber of thought.
Basile

7.
The palest ink lasts longer than the most retentive memory.
Proverb, Chinese

8.
Time -- our youth -- it never really goes, does it? It is all held in our minds.
Santmyer, Helen Hoover

9.
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

10.
Memories can be sad, but sometimes they can also save you.
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata

11.
Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.
Benjamin, Walter

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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

15.
If you are speaking the truth you don't have to remember anything.
Twain, Mark

16.
Unless we remember we cannot understand.
Forster, Edward M.

17.
A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.
Herbert, George

18.
In memory everything seems to happen to music.
Williams, Tennessee

19.
Memories are all we really own.
Lieberman, Elias

20.
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

21.
The more connections that can be made in the brain, the more integrated the experience is within memory.
Campbell, Don

22.
He who is not very strong in memory should not meddle with lying.
Michel de Montaigne

23.
Memory always obeys the commands of the heart.
Rivarol, Antoine

24.
What is read twice is usually remembered more than what is once written.
Johnson, Samuel

25.
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green.
William Shakespeare

26.
You never know how much a man can't remember until he is called as a witness.
Rogers, Will

27.
Memory is the only paradise from which we cannot be driven.
Paul, Jean

28.
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

29.
You can fall ill with just a memory.
Paolo Giordano

30.
A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Smith, Alexander

31.
Don't remember what you can infer.
Tennant, Harry

32.
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

33.
Memory is the scribe of the soul.
Aristotle

34.
Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn

35.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche

36.
Memories, imagination, old sentiments, and associations are more readily reached through the sense of smell than through any other channel.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

37.
Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.
Cicero, Marcus T.

38.
A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.
Hubbard, Elbert

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

40.
The secret of a good memory is attention, and attention to a subject depends upon our interest in it. We rarely forget that which has made a deep impression on our minds.
Tryon Edwards

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

42.
The short memories of American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.
Rogers, Will

43.
We have all forgot more than we remember.
Fuller, Thomas

44.
It's a pleasure to share one's memories. Everything remembered is dear, endearing, touching, precious. At least the past is safe --though we didn't know it at the time. We know it now. Because it's in the past; because we have survived.
Sontag, Susan

45.
[Memory is] a man's real possession...In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Alexander Smith

46.
A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial.
Fadiman, Clifton

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Forget those things that aren't worth remembering.
Foley, Tim

50.
We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.
Pavese, Cesare
