“Preserve your memories, keep them well, what you forget you can never retell.”

“If you want to keep your memories, you first have to live them.”

“Memory is identity…. You are what you have done; what you have done is in your memory; what you remember defines who you are; when you forget your life you cease to be, even before your death.”

“If you have had an unfortunate experience, forget it. If you have made a failure in speech, your song, your book, your article, if you have been placed in an embarrassing position, if you have fallen and hurt yourself by a false step, if you have been slandered and abused, do not dwell upon it. There is not a single redeeming feature in these memories, and the presence of their ghosts will rob you of many a happy hour. There is nothing in it. Drop them. Forget them. Wipe them out of your mind forever. If you have been indiscreet, imprudent, if you have been talked about, if your reputation has been injured so that you fear you can never outgrow it or redeem it, do not drag the hideous shadows, the rattling skeletons about with you, Rub them off from the shite of memory. Wipe them out. Forget them. Start with a clean slate and spend all your energies in keeping it clean for the future.”

“Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you.”

“[T]hat our prosperity may never forget God's mercies shown to us, but always keep them in grateful memory.”

“The way she held your hand,
The little things you planned.
Her memory is with you yet,
That's someone you'll never forget.”

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

“If I forget, then it might as well never have happened. Memory is liberty.”

“In the immortal words of Maya Angelou … people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will
never forget how you made them feel.”
