Remembrance of things past.

William Shakespeare

Remembrance restores possibility to the past, making what happened incomplete and completing what never was. Remembrance is neither what happened nor what did not happen but, rather, their potentialization, their becoming possible once again.

Giorgio Agamben

Never be without remembrance of Him, for His remembrance gives strength and wings to the bird of the Spirit.

Rumi

Consumed by the agony of remembrance The remembrance of night's festive company The one remaining candle flickers and dies.

Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought.

William Shakespeare

I read "Remembrance of Things Past" in the original French. I never start the day without reading me some [Marcel] Proust.

Dave Barry

Please follow the counsel you have been given in the past and maintain your personal journals. Those who keep a book of remembrance are more likely to keep the Lord in remembrance in their daily lives. Journals are a way of counting our blessings and of leaving an inventory of these blessings for our posterity.

Spencer W. Kimball

And let to-day embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing.

Khalil Gibran

Twice does he live who can enjoy the remembrance of the past.

Ovid

Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.

Jane Austen

When my wife's Aunt Caroline was in her nineties, she lived with us, and she once remarked: 'Remembrance is sufficient of the beauty we have seen.' I cherish the remembrance of the beauty I have seen. I cherish the grave, compulsive word.
