Creditors have
better memories than debtors.

refrigerator of the mind and the cupboard of the heart.

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
1608-1661, British Clergyman,
Author
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
1608-1661, British Clergyman,
Author

We have all
forgot more than we remember.

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.
-- Martha Gellhorn
1908-, American Journalist,

In times like
these, it helps to recall that there have always been times
like these.
-- Paul Harvey

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