- Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.
- Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)
- To find yourself jilted is a blow to your pride. Do your best to forget it and if you don't succeed, at least pretend to.
- Moliere (1622 - 1673)
- The secret of a good memory is attention, and attention to a subject depends upon our interest in it. We rarely forget that which has made a deep impression on our minds.
- Tryon Edwards (1809 - 1894)
- Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882), (attributed)
- The way you overcome shyness is to become so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid.
- Lady Bird Johnson (1912 - 2007)
- The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.
- Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)
- There is no law of progress. Our future is in our own hands, to make or to mar. It will be an uphill fight to the end, and would we have it otherwise?

- William Ralph Inge (1860 - 1954)
- You cannot go around and keep score. If you keep score on the good things and the bad things, you'll find out that you're a very miserable person. God gave man the ability to forget, which is one of the greatest attributes you have. Because if you remember everything that's happened to you, you generally remember that which is the most unfortunate.
- Hubert H. Humphrey (1911 - 1978)
- Age to me means nothing. I can't get old; I'm working. I was old when I was twenty-one and out of work. As long as you're working, you stay young. When I'm in front of an audience, all that love and vitality sweeps over me and I forget my age.
- George Burns (1896 - 1996)
- Don't let yourself forget what it's like to be sixteen.
- Anonymous
