Forget those things that aren't worth remembering.Tim Foley
A memory is what is left when something happens and does not completely unhappen.
Edward de Bono
A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.
Elbert Hubbard
Memory depends very much on the perspicuity, regularity, and order of our thoughts. Many complain of the want of memory, when the defect is in the judgment; and others, by grasping at all, retain nothing.
Thomas Fuller
He who is not very strong in memory should not meddle with lying.
Michael de Montaigne
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.
Thomas Fuller
One must have a good memory to be able to keep the promises one makes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory as the wish to forget it.
Michel de Montaigne
Memory feeds imagination.
Amy Tan
The true art of memory is the art of attention.
Samuel Johnson

MG- Am going through an Ernest Saunders phase- can't remember three numbers backwards or the name of the US president but might well recover from a seemingly miraculous recovery without notice!
