Famous quotes containing the word memory:

    It must be a peace without victory.... Victory would mean peace forced upon the losers, a victor’s terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which the terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    My stardust melody, the memory of love’s refrain.
    Mitchell Parish (1901–1993)

    One learns little more about a man from the feats of his literary memory than from the feats of his alimentary canal.
    Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
