Memory Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Memory

1.
Contemporaries appreciate the person rather than their merit, posterity will regard the merit rather than the person.
Colton, Charles Caleb

2.
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

3.
There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.
Dante Alighieri

4.
Memory moderates prosperity, decreases adversity, controls youth and delights old age.
Firmianus, Lactantius

5.
The palest ink lasts longer than the most retentive memory.
Proverb, Chinese

6.
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

7.
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

8.
It's a poor sort of memory that only works backward.
Lewis Carroll

9.
We don't remember days; we remember moments.
Pavese, Cesare

10.
Time -- our youth -- it never really goes, does it? It is all held in our minds.
Santmyer, Helen Hoover

11.
If I could remember your name, I'd ask you where I left my keys.
Bumper Sticker

12.
A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Smith, Alexander

13.
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green.
William Shakespeare

14.
People tend to remember my performances, not me.
Barkin, Ellen

15.
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

16.
What is read twice is usually remembered more than what is once written.
Johnson, Samuel

17.
In memory everything seems to happen to music.
Williams, Tennessee

18.
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

19.
Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.
Benjamin, Walter

20.
You can fall ill with just a memory.
Paolo Giordano

21.
When you are right no one remembers; when you are wrong no one forgets.
Proverb, Irish

22.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Wilde, Oscar

23.
We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.
Pavese, Cesare

24.
Those who cannot remember the past will spend a lot of time looking for their cars in mall parking lots.
Trachman, Jay

25.
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

26.
Sweet is the memory of past troubles.
Cicero, Marcus T.

27.
I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.
Bunuel, Luis

28.
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David

29.
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

30.
Creditors have better memories than debtors.
Benjamin Franklin

31.
We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.
Didion, Joan

32.
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

33.
I would forget it fain; But, O, it presses to my memory, like damned guilty deeds to a sinners mind.
William Shakespeare

34.
The more connections that can be made in the brain, the more integrated the experience is within memory.
Campbell, Don

35.
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

36.
Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.
Kempis, Thomas

37.
I have a memory like an elephant. In fact, elephants often consult me.
Coward, Noel

38.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche

39.
Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.
Seattle, Chief

40.
The selective memory isn't selective enough.
Morrison, Blake

41.
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

42.
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

43.
People with good memories seldom remember anything worth remembering.

44.
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.

45.
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

46.
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

47.
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

48.
Lord, keep my memory green.
Dickens, Charles

49.
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not.
Mark Twain

50.
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
