Memory Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Memory

1.
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

2.
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

3.
The palest ink lasts longer than the most retentive memory.
Proverb, Chinese

4.
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

5.
Don't remember what you can infer.
Tennant, Harry

6.
The memory represents to us not what we choose but what it pleases.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

7.
Memory always obeys the commands of the heart.
Rivarol, Antoine

8.
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

9.
If I could remember your name, I'd ask you where I left my keys.
Bumper Sticker

10.
Memory moderates prosperity, decreases adversity, controls youth and delights old age.
Firmianus, Lactantius

11.
People with good memories seldom remember anything worth remembering.

12.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche

13.
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

14.
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David

15.
A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.
Herbert, George

16.
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

17.
There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.
Dante Alighieri

18.
You never know how much a man can't remember until he is called as a witness.
Rogers, Will

19.
It is surprising how much of memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.
Kingsolver, Barbara

20.
People may correctly remember the events of twenty years ago (a remarkable feat), but who remembers his fears, his disgusts, his tone of voice? It is like trying to bring back the weather of that time.
Gellhorn, Martha

21.
The best memory is that which forgets nothing, but injuries. Write kindness in marble and write injuries in the dust.
Proverb, Persian

22.
People tend to remember my performances, not me.
Barkin, Ellen

23.
I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.
Bunuel, Luis

24.
We don't remember days; we remember moments.
Pavese, Cesare

25.
Memory is the mother of all wisdom.
Aeschylus

26.
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

27.
Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.
Seattle, Chief

28.
Memory is the scribe of the soul.
Aristotle

29.
Human memory is a marvelous but fallacious instrument. The memories which lie within us are not carved in stone; not only do they tend to become erased as the years go by, but often they change, or even increase by incorporating extraneous features.
Levi, Primo

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

31.
Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.
Kempis, Thomas

32.
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

33.
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.

34.
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

35.
When one of these flashbacks was reported to me by a conscious patient, I was incredulous. For example, when a mother told me she was suddenly aware, as my electrode touched the cortex, of being in the kitchen listening to the voice of her little boy who was playing outside in the yard.
Penfield, Wilder

36.
[Memory is] a man's real possession...In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Alexander Smith

37.
We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.
Didion, Joan

38.
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

39.
Forget those things that aren't worth remembering.
Foley, Tim

40.
Every man's memory is his private literature.
Huxley, Aldous

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

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

44.
Memory is the thing you forget with.
Chase, Alexander

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

46.
Leftovers in their less visible form are called memories. Stored in the refrigerator of the mind and the cupboard of the heart.
Fulghum, Robert

47.
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

48.
Contemporaries appreciate the person rather than their merit, posterity will regard the merit rather than the person.
Colton, Charles Caleb

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

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