Memory Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Memory

1.
Memory moderates prosperity, decreases adversity, controls youth and delights old age.
Firmianus, Lactantius

2.
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

3.
One must have a good memory to be able to keep the promises one makes.
Friedrich Nietzsche

4.
Forget those things that aren't worth remembering.
Foley, Tim

5.
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

6.
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

7.
I have a memory like an elephant. In fact, elephants often consult me.
Coward, Noel

8.
Never forget what you need to remember.
Bartley, Garrett

9.
Those who cannot remember the past will spend a lot of time looking for their cars in mall parking lots.
Trachman, Jay

10.
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

11.
We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.
Pavese, Cesare

12.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Wilde, Oscar

13.
I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.
Bunuel, Luis

14.
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

15.
Memory is the mother of all wisdom.
Aeschylus

16.
Don't remember what you can infer.
Tennant, Harry

17.
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

18.
Remembrance and reflection how allied. What thin partitions divides sense from thought.
Pope, Alexander

19.
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

20.
We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.
Didion, Joan

21.
The short memories of American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.
Rogers, Will

22.
Memories can be sad, but sometimes they can also save you.
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata

23.
You can fall ill with just a memory.
Paolo Giordano

24.
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

25.
If you are speaking the truth you don't have to remember anything.
Twain, Mark

26.
One lives in the hope of becoming a memory.
Porchia, Antonio

27.
Unless we remember we cannot understand.
Forster, Edward M.

28.
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

29.
When you are right no one remembers; when you are wrong no one forgets.
Proverb, Irish

30.
To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.
Hazlitt, William

31.
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

32.
Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.
Seattle, Chief

33.
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David

34.
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

35.
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

36.
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

37.
A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.
Hubbard, Elbert

38.
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

39.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche

40.
If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.
Fermi, Enrico

41.
Lord, keep my memory green.
Dickens, Charles

42.
[Memory is] a man's real possession...In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Alexander Smith

43.
Memory always obeys the commands of the heart.
Rivarol, Antoine

44.
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

45.
Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going.
Williams, Tennessee

46.
That translucent alabaster of our memories.
Proust, Marcel

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.
Connolly, Cyril

50.
Memory is the scribe of the soul.
Aristotle
