Memory

I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.
- Bunuel, Luis
Memory Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Memory

1.
He who is not very strong in memory should not meddle with lying.
Michel de Montaigne

2.
What is read twice is usually remembered more than what is once written.
Johnson, Samuel

3.
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

4.
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

5.
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David

6.
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

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.
You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all, just as an intelligence without the possibility of expression is not really an intelligence. Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it, we are nothing.
Bunuel, Luis

10.
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

11.
A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.
Herbert, George

12.
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

13.
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

14.
Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.
Benjamin, Walter

15.
Time -- our youth -- it never really goes, does it? It is all held in our minds.
Santmyer, Helen Hoover

16.
[Memory is] a man's real possession...In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Alexander Smith

17.
Unless we remember we cannot understand.
Forster, Edward M.

18.
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

19.
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green.
William Shakespeare

20.
One must have a good memory to be able to keep the promises one makes.
Friedrich Nietzsche

21.
It is surprising how much of memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.
Kingsolver, Barbara

22.
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

23.
Memory always obeys the commands of the heart.
Rivarol, Antoine

24.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche

25.
You never know how much a man can't remember until he is called as a witness.
Rogers, Will

26.
I would forget it fain; But, O, it presses to my memory, like damned guilty deeds to a sinners mind.
William Shakespeare

27.
Sweet is the memory of past troubles.
Cicero, Marcus T.

28.
Memory moderates prosperity, decreases adversity, controls youth and delights old age.
Firmianus, Lactantius

29.
Memory is the thing you forget with.
Chase, Alexander

30.
We are able to find everything in our memory, which is like a dispensary or chemical laboratory in which chance steers our hand sometimes to a soothing drug and sometimes to a dangerous poison.
Proust, Marcel

31.
A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.
Hubbard, Elbert

32.
Don't remember what you can infer.
Tennant, Harry

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

34.
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

35.
People tend to remember my performances, not me.
Barkin, Ellen

36.
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.

37.
Memory is the cabinet of the imagination, the treasury of reason, the registry of conscience, and, the council chamber of thought.
Basile

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.
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.
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

41.
There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.
Dante Alighieri

42.
It's a poor sort of memory that only works backward.
Lewis Carroll

43.
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

44.
Forget those things that aren't worth remembering.
Foley, Tim

45.
That is my major preoccupation --memory, the kingdom of memory. I want to protect and enrich that kingdom, glorify that kingdom and serve it.
Wiesel, Elie

46.
Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.
Cicero, Marcus T.

47.
Memories can be sad, but sometimes they can also save you.
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata

48.
One lives in the world's memory only by what they have done in the world's behalf.
Proverb

49.
The best memory is that which forgets nothing, but injuries. Write kindness in marble and write injuries in the dust.
Proverb, Persian

50.
The palest ink lasts longer than the most retentive memory.
Proverb, Chinese
