Memory Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Memory

1.
The memory represents to us not what we choose but what it pleases.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

2.
Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.
Cicero, Marcus T.

3.
I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.
Bunuel, Luis

4.
A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.
Herbert, George

5.
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

6.
There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.
Dante Alighieri

7.
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

8.
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.

9.
Memories are all we really own.
Lieberman, Elias

10.
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

11.
He who is not very strong in memory should not meddle with lying.
Michel de Montaigne

12.
When you are right no one remembers; when you are wrong no one forgets.
Proverb, Irish

13.
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

14.
The heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

15.
Leftovers in their less visible form are called memories. Stored in the refrigerator of the mind and the cupboard of the heart.
Fulghum, Robert

16.
Time -- our youth -- it never really goes, does it? It is all held in our minds.
Santmyer, Helen Hoover

17.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Wilde, Oscar

18.
[Memory is] a man's real possession...In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Alexander Smith

19.
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

20.
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

21.
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David

22.
I always have trouble remembering three things: faces, names, and -- I can't remember what the third thing is.
Allen, Fred A.

23.
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

24.
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

25.
A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Smith, Alexander

26.
Memories can be sad, but sometimes they can also save you.
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata

27.
Unless we remember we cannot understand.
Forster, Edward M.

28.
I'm still chasing girls. I don't remember what for, but I'm still chasing them.
Lewis, Joe E.

29.
The best memory is that which forgets nothing, but injuries. Write kindness in marble and write injuries in the dust.
Proverb, Persian

30.
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

31.
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

32.
This boy is dead now, I knew it before taking him in my arms, I can remember his face, his suffering, his voice.
Diana, Princess of Wales

33.
You never know how much a man can't remember until he is called as a witness.
Rogers, Will

34.
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

35.
The palest ink lasts longer than the most retentive memory.
Proverb, Chinese

36.
Memory is the only paradise from which we cannot be driven.
Paul, Jean

37.
Memory is the mother of all wisdom.
Aeschylus

38.
Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.
Benjamin, Walter

39.
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

40.
Sweet is the memory of past troubles.
Cicero, Marcus T.

41.
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

42.
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

43.
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

44.
Every man's memory is his private literature.
Huxley, Aldous

45.
Forget those things that aren't worth remembering.
Foley, Tim

46.
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

47.
To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.
Hazlitt, William

48.
If you are speaking the truth you don't have to remember anything.
Twain, Mark

49.
Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.
Seattle, Chief

50.
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
