Motivational Quotes
Memory
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.
Best Quotes about Memory
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
Contemporaries appreciate the person rather than their merit, posterity will regard the merit rather than the person.
Colton, Charles Caleb
When you are right no one remembers; when you are wrong no one forgets.
Proverb, Irish
Never forget what you need to remember.
Bartley, Garrett
People tend to remember my performances, not me.
Barkin, Ellen
We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.
Didion, Joan
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
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
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green.
William Shakespeare
Memory is the cabinet of the imagination, the treasury of reason, the registry of conscience, and, the council chamber of thought.
Basile
Leftovers in their less visible form are called memories. Stored in the refrigerator of the mind and the cupboard of the heart.
Fulghum, Robert
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
A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial.
Fadiman, Clifton
If you are speaking the truth you don't have to remember anything.
Twain, Mark
Every man's memory is his private literature.
Huxley, Aldous
Memory always obeys the commands of the heart.
Rivarol, Antoine
We have all forgot more than we remember.
Fuller, Thomas
The memory represents to us not what we choose but what it pleases.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
One lives in the hope of becoming a memory.
Porchia, Antonio
The more connections that can be made in the brain, the more integrated the experience is within memory.
Campbell, Don
A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Smith, Alexander
The best memory is that which forgets nothing, but injuries. Write kindness in marble and write injuries in the dust.
Proverb, Persian
Memories, imagination, old sentiments, and associations are more readily reached through the sense of smell than through any other channel.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
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
It's a pleasure to share one's memories. Everything remembered is dear, endearing, touching, precious. At least the past is safe --though we didn't know it at the time. We know it now. Because it's in the past; because we have survived.
Sontag, Susan
Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going.
Williams, Tennessee
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.
If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.
Fermi, Enrico
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
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
Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.
Benjamin, Walter
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
Memories are all we really own.
Lieberman, Elias
Be careful about lending a friend money. It may damage her 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.
Lyster
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
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Lord, keep my memory green.
Dickens, Charles
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David
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
Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Creditors have better memories than debtors.
Benjamin Franklin
It's a poor sort of memory that only works backward.
Lewis Carroll
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
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
The palest ink lasts longer than the most retentive memory.
Proverb, Chinese
Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.
Connolly, Cyril
One must have a good memory to be able to keep the promises one makes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Wilde, Oscar
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
