Memory Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Memory

1.
I would forget it fain; But, O, it presses to my memory, like damned guilty deeds to a sinners mind.
William Shakespeare

2.
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

3.
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

4.
I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.
Bunuel, Luis

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

7.
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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Memories are all we really own.
Lieberman, Elias

11.
The memory represents to us not what we choose but what it pleases.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

12.
One lives in the world's memory only by what they have done in the world's behalf.
Proverb

13.
Memories, imagination, old sentiments, and associations are more readily reached through the sense of smell than through any other channel.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

14.
Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going.
Williams, Tennessee

15.
Memory is the mother of all wisdom.
Aeschylus

16.
People tend to remember my performances, not me.
Barkin, Ellen

17.
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not.
Mark Twain

18.
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

19.
Those who cannot remember the past will spend a lot of time looking for their cars in mall parking lots.
Trachman, Jay

20.
One lives in the hope of becoming a memory.
Porchia, Antonio

21.
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Thoreau, Henry David

22.
People with good memories seldom remember anything worth remembering.

23.
Memory moderates prosperity, decreases adversity, controls youth and delights old age.
Firmianus, Lactantius

24.
Creditors have better memories than debtors.
Benjamin Franklin

25.
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

26.
We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.
Pavese, Cesare

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

28.
Every man's memory is his private literature.
Huxley, Aldous

29.
He who is not very strong in memory should not meddle with lying.
Michel de Montaigne

30.
It is surprising how much of memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.
Kingsolver, Barbara

31.
It's a poor sort of memory that only works backward.
Lewis Carroll

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

33.
The best memory is that which forgets nothing, but injuries. Write kindness in marble and write injuries in the dust.
Proverb, Persian

34.
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

35.
If I could remember your name, I'd ask you where I left my keys.
Bumper Sticker

36.
I always have trouble remembering three things: faces, names, and -- I can't remember what the third thing is.
Allen, Fred A.

37.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche

38.
Remembrance and reflection how allied. What thin partitions divides sense from thought.
Pope, Alexander

39.
What is read twice is usually remembered more than what is once written.
Johnson, Samuel

40.
Lord, keep my memory green.
Dickens, Charles

41.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Wilde, Oscar

42.
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

43.
Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.
Benjamin, Walter

44.
A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Smith, Alexander

45.
The heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

46.
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

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, SĀ°ren

48.
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

49.
Memory is the scribe of the soul.
Aristotle

50.
Don't remember what you can infer.
Tennant, Harry
