Memory is more indelible than ink.

Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again.

Memories are like corks left out of bottles. They swell. They no longer fit.

There’s hope a great man’s memory may outlive his life half a year.

I’ve a grand memory for forgetting.

Memory is like the moon, which hath its new, its full, and its wane.

He who is afraid of his own memories is cowardly, really cowardly.

Memory is the only
afterlife I can understand.

History is a people’s memory, and without a memory man is demoted to the level of the lower animals.

What is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?

Memory is necessary for all operations of reasoning.

I think heaven will not be as good as earth, unless it bring with it that sweet power to remember, which is the staple of heaven here.

A monument is money wasted. My memory will live on if my life has deserved it.
