Memory

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
Memory Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Memory

1.
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

2.
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

3.
Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.
Cicero, Marcus T.

4.
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

5.
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

6.
Memories are all we really own.
Lieberman, Elias

7.
Unless we remember we cannot understand.
Forster, Edward M.

8.
When you are right no one remembers; when you are wrong no one forgets.
Proverb, Irish

9.
We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.
Pavese, Cesare

10.
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green.
William Shakespeare

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.
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

13.
Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.
Benjamin, Walter

14.
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not.
Mark Twain

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

17.
If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.
Fermi, Enrico

18.
Every man's memory is his private literature.
Huxley, Aldous

19.
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

20.
The memory represents to us not what we choose but what it pleases.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

21.
A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.
Herbert, George

22.
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

23.
I have a memory like an elephant. In fact, elephants often consult me.
Coward, Noel

24.
Memory is the mother of all wisdom.
Aeschylus

25.
Memory moderates prosperity, decreases adversity, controls youth and delights old age.
Firmianus, Lactantius

26.
Be careful about lending a friend money. It may damage her memory.

27.
The heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

28.
One lives in the world's memory only by what they have done in the world's behalf.
Proverb

29.
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

30.
Memory always obeys the commands of the heart.
Rivarol, Antoine

31.
The short memories of American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.
Rogers, Will

32.
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

33.
We have all forgot more than we remember.
Fuller, Thomas

34.
Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.
Seattle, Chief

35.
Lord, keep my memory green.
Dickens, Charles

36.
We don't remember days; we remember moments.
Pavese, Cesare

37.
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

38.
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

39.
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

40.
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

41.
Don't remember what you can infer.
Tennant, Harry

42.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Wilde, Oscar

43.
Contemporaries appreciate the person rather than their merit, posterity will regard the merit rather than the person.
Colton, Charles Caleb

44.
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

45.
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

46.
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

47.
[Memory is] a man's real possession...In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Alexander Smith

48.
In memory everything seems to happen to music.
Williams, Tennessee

49.
But each day brings its petty dust our soon-choked souls to fill, and we forget because we must, and not because we will.
Arnold, Matthew

50.
Memories, imagination, old sentiments, and associations are more readily reached through the sense of smell than through any other channel.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
