Motivational Quotes
Memory
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.
Best Quotes about Memory
A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Smith, Alexander
We have all forgot more than we remember.
Fuller, Thomas
Remembrance and reflection how allied. What thin partitions divides sense from thought.
Pope, Alexander
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
I'm still chasing girls. I don't remember what for, but I'm still chasing them.
Lewis, Joe E.
In memory everything seems to happen to music.
Williams, Tennessee
People with good memories seldom remember anything worth remembering.
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green.
William Shakespeare
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
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
We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.
Didion, Joan
I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.
Bunuel, Luis
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
Lord, keep my memory green.
Dickens, Charles
I would forget it fain; But, O, it presses to my memory, like damned guilty deeds to a sinners mind.
William Shakespeare
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
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
Creditors have better memories than debtors.
Benjamin Franklin
Our memory is like a shop in the window of which is exposed now one, now another photograph of the same person. And as a rule the most recent exhibit remains for some time the only one to be seen.
Proust, Marcel
Memory moderates prosperity, decreases adversity, controls youth and delights old age.
Firmianus, Lactantius
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
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David
Time -- our youth -- it never really goes, does it? It is all held in our minds.
Santmyer, Helen Hoover
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
To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.
Hazlitt, William
Observation is an old man's memory.
Swift, Jonathan
Be careful about lending a friend money. It may damage her memory.
Memory is the scribe of the soul.
Aristotle
Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.
Seattle, Chief
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
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
Unless we remember we cannot understand.
Forster, Edward M.
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
I always have trouble remembering three things: faces, names, and -- I can't remember what the third thing is.
Allen, Fred A.
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
Those who cannot remember the past will spend a lot of time looking for their cars in mall parking lots.
Trachman, Jay
Memory is the cabinet of the imagination, the treasury of reason, the registry of conscience, and, the council chamber of thought.
Basile
One must have a good memory to be able to keep the promises one makes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
Every man's memory is his private literature.
Huxley, Aldous
Memory is the mother of all wisdom.
Aeschylus
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
It is surprising how much of memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.
Kingsolver, Barbara
Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.
Connolly, Cyril
That translucent alabaster of our memories.
Proust, Marcel
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
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
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not.
Mark Twain
I have a memory like an elephant. In fact, elephants often consult me.
Coward, Noel
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
