Quotations by Subject: Memory (27 quotes)

Results from Poor Man's College:

Memory is not wisdom; idiots can by rote repeat volumes. Yet what is wisdom without memory?: Martin Tupper
Memory tempers prosperity, mitigates adversity, control youth, and delights old age.: Firmianus Lactantius
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)
He who has not a good memory should never take upon himself the trade of lying.: Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)
Gossip is only the lack of a worthy memory.: Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)
We are students of words; we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Adults interfere with a natural biologic development of the child's motor, visual, mental, and artistic abilities when they try to influence the child's work in the early years. The adult's brain has accumulated much more visual and artistic memory than the child's, so there can be no true meeting of adult and child mind unless the adult knows how the child's mind functions in art.: Rhoda Kellog
By the time the child can draw more that scribble, by the age of four or five years, an already well-formed body of conceptual knowledge formulated in language dominates his memory and controls his graphic work. Drawings are graphic accounts of essentially verbal processes. As an essentially verbal education gains control, the child abandons his graphic efforts and relies almost entirely on words. Language has first spoilt drawing and then swallowed it up completely.: Karl Buhler, 1930
