A man could spend the rest of his life trying to remember what he shouldn't have said.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A man does not know what he is saying until he knows what he is not saying.
There is no man, however wise, who has not at some period of his youth said things, or lived in a way the consciousness of which is so unpleasant to him in later life that he would gladly, if he could, expunge it from his memory.
Unless a man feels he has a good enough memory, he should never venture to lie.
He had read much, if one considers his long life; but his contemplation was much more than his reading. He was wont to say that if he had read as much as other men he should have known no more than other men.
It is fitting that a liar should be a man of good memory.
Man spends his life in reasoning on the past, in complaining of the present, in fearing future.
One ought to have a good memory when he has told a lie.
Let the past be content with itself, for man needs forgetfulness as well as memory.
No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.
Many a man fails as an original thinker simply because his memory it too good.
