Memory is the treasure house of the mind wherein the monuments thereof are kept and preserved.

Memory is the treasure house of the mind wherein the monuments thereof are kept and preserved

Tombs are the clothes of the dead. A grave is but a plain suit, and a rich monument is one embroidered.

Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it

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.

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.
