Motivational Quotes
Memory
Those who cannot remember the past will spend a lot of time looking for their cars in mall parking lots.
Best Quotes about Memory
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
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
Sweet is the memory of past troubles.
Cicero, Marcus T.
If I could remember your name, I'd ask you where I left my keys.
Bumper Sticker
We are able to find everything in our memory, which is like a dispensary or chemical laboratory in which chance steers our hand sometimes to a soothing drug and sometimes to a dangerous poison.
Proust, Marcel
Memory is the cabinet of the imagination, the treasury of reason, the registry of conscience, and, the council chamber of thought.
Basile
Creditors have better memories than debtors.
Benjamin Franklin
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
Memory is the thing you forget with.
Chase, Alexander
Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.
Kempis, Thomas
As with most fine things, chocolate has its season. There is a simple memory aid that you can use to determine whether it is the correct time to order chocolate dishes: any month whose name contains the letter A, E, or U is the proper time for chocolate.
Boynton, Sandra
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People with good memories seldom remember anything worth remembering.
[Memory is] a man's real possession...In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Alexander Smith
Why is our memory good enough to recall to the last detail things that have happened to us, yet not good enough to recall how often we have told them to the same person.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
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
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
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not.
Mark Twain
Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.
Benjamin, Walter
Unless we remember we cannot understand.
Forster, Edward M.
Memories, imagination, old sentiments, and associations are more readily reached through the sense of smell than through any other channel.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
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
We have all forgot more than we remember.
Fuller, Thomas
A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.
Herbert, George
We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.
Pavese, Cesare
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
Don't remember what you can infer.
Tennant, Harry
I would forget it fain; But, O, it presses to my memory, like damned guilty deeds to a sinners mind.
William Shakespeare
The memory represents to us not what we choose but what it pleases.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
You never know how much a man can't remember until he is called as a witness.
Rogers, Will
To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.
Hazlitt, William
Memories can be sad, but sometimes they can also save you.
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata
A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.
Hubbard, Elbert
What is read twice is usually remembered more than what is once written.
Johnson, Samuel
I'm still chasing girls. I don't remember what for, but I'm still chasing them.
Lewis, Joe E.
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
Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going.
Williams, Tennessee
Be careful about lending a friend money. It may damage her memory.
It is surprising how much of memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.
Kingsolver, Barbara
If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.
Fermi, Enrico
I always have trouble remembering three things: faces, names, and -- I can't remember what the third thing is.
Allen, Fred A.
People may correctly remember the events of twenty years ago (a remarkable feat), but who remembers his fears, his disgusts, his tone of voice? It is like trying to bring back the weather of that time.
Gellhorn, Martha
The heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David
Memory is the only paradise from which we cannot be driven.
Paul, Jean
Those who cannot remember the past will spend a lot of time looking for their cars in mall parking lots.
Trachman, Jay
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.
Lord, keep my memory green.
Dickens, Charles
We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.
Didion, Joan
For the memory of love is sweet, though the love itself were in vain. And what I have lost of pleasure, assuage what I find of pain.
Lyster
