Memory

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, S°ren
Memory Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Memory

1.
A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Smith, Alexander

2.
The best memory is that which forgets nothing, but injuries. Write kindness in marble and write injuries in the dust.
Proverb, Persian

3.
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

4.
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

5.
There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.
Dante Alighieri

6.
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David

7.
Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.
Benjamin, Walter

8.
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

9.
You can fall ill with just a memory.
Paolo Giordano

10.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Wilde, Oscar

11.
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

12.
The memory represents to us not what we choose but what it pleases.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

13.
Memories, imagination, old sentiments, and associations are more readily reached through the sense of smell than through any other channel.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

14.
Be careful about lending a friend money. It may damage her memory.

15.
Memory moderates prosperity, decreases adversity, controls youth and delights old age.
Firmianus, Lactantius

16.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche

17.
Those who cannot remember the past will spend a lot of time looking for their cars in mall parking lots.
Trachman, Jay

18.
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

19.
Memories can be sad, but sometimes they can also save you.
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata

20.
A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial.
Fadiman, Clifton

21.
The heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

22.
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

23.
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

24.
We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.
Pavese, Cesare

25.
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

26.
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

27.
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.

28.
You never know how much a man can't remember until he is called as a witness.
Rogers, Will

29.
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

30.
Memories are all we really own.
Lieberman, Elias

31.
Leftovers in their less visible form are called memories. Stored in the refrigerator of the mind and the cupboard of the heart.
Fulghum, Robert

32.
He who is not very strong in memory should not meddle with lying.
Michel de Montaigne

33.
In endowing us with memory, nature has revealed to us a truth utterly unimaginable to the unreflective creation, the truth of immortality. The most ideal human passion is love, which is also the most absolute and animal and one of the most ephemeral.
Santayana, George

34.
Forget those things that aren't worth remembering.
Foley, Tim

35.
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

36.
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

37.
People tend to remember my performances, not me.
Barkin, Ellen

38.
Contemporaries appreciate the person rather than their merit, posterity will regard the merit rather than the person.
Colton, Charles Caleb

39.
The short memories of American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.
Rogers, Will

40.
Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.
Cicero, Marcus T.

41.
Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.
Connolly, Cyril

42.
Don't remember what you can infer.
Tennant, Harry

43.
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

44.
In memory everything seems to happen to music.
Williams, Tennessee

45.
I always have trouble remembering three things: faces, names, and -- I can't remember what the third thing is.
Allen, Fred A.

46.
I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.
Bunuel, Luis

47.
Memory is the scribe of the soul.
Aristotle

48.
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

49.
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

50.
Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going.
Williams, Tennessee
