Memory

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
Memory Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Memory

1.
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not.
Mark Twain

2.
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

3.
Memory is the mother of all wisdom.
Aeschylus

4.
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

5.
Sweet is the memory of past troubles.
Cicero, Marcus T.

6.
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many things I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste.
William Shakespeare

7.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Wilde, Oscar

8.
Memory is the only paradise from which we cannot be driven.
Paul, Jean

9.
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

10.
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

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.
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.

13.
Unless we remember we cannot understand.
Forster, Edward M.

14.
Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going.
Williams, Tennessee

15.
Be careful about lending a friend money. It may damage her memory.

16.
It is surprising how much of memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.
Kingsolver, Barbara

17.
That translucent alabaster of our memories.
Proust, Marcel

18.
Remembrance and reflection how allied. What thin partitions divides sense from thought.
Pope, Alexander

19.
The more a man can forget, the greater the number of metamorphoses which his life can undergo, the more he can remember the more divine his life becomes.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

20.
Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.
Benjamin, Walter

21.
Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn

22.
There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.
Dante Alighieri

23.
What is read twice is usually remembered more than what is once written.
Johnson, Samuel

24.
The short memories of American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.
Rogers, Will

25.
Time -- our youth -- it never really goes, does it? It is all held in our minds.
Santmyer, Helen Hoover

26.
One lives in the world's memory only by what they have done in the world's behalf.
Proverb

27.
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green.
William Shakespeare

28.
When you are right no one remembers; when you are wrong no one forgets.
Proverb, Irish

29.
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

30.
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

31.
In memory everything seems to happen to music.
Williams, Tennessee

32.
We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.
Pavese, Cesare

33.
The more connections that can be made in the brain, the more integrated the experience is within memory.
Campbell, Don

34.
We have all forgot more than we remember.
Fuller, Thomas

35.
[Memory is] a man's real possession...In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Alexander Smith

36.
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

37.
If you are speaking the truth you don't have to remember anything.
Twain, Mark

38.
Memory is the thing you forget with.
Chase, Alexander

39.
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

40.
I'm still chasing girls. I don't remember what for, but I'm still chasing them.
Lewis, Joe E.

41.
The heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

42.
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David

43.
If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.
Fermi, Enrico

44.
I would forget it fain; But, O, it presses to my memory, like damned guilty deeds to a sinners mind.
William Shakespeare

45.
A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.
Herbert, George

46.
People tend to remember my performances, not me.
Barkin, Ellen

47.
Lord, keep my memory green.
Dickens, Charles

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
