People go to church for the same reasons they go to a tavern: to stupefy themselves, to forget their misery, to imagine themselves, for a few minutes anyway, free and happy.
Mikhail Bakunin
The city of Washington is in some respects self-contained, and it is easy there to forget what the rest of the United States is thinking about. I count it a fortunate circumstance that almost all the windows of the White House and its offices open upon unoccupied spaces that stretch to the banks of the Potomac ... and that as I sit there I can constantly forget Washington and remember the United States.
Woodrow Wilson
A man is too apt to forget that in this world he cannot have everything. A choice is all that is left him.
H Mathews

Richard M. Nixon
And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
Aeschylus
Forget your personal tragedy. We are all bitched from the start and you especially have to be hurt like hell before you can write seriously. But when you get the damned hurt, use it-don't cheat with it.
Ernest Hemingway
Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.
Christina Rossetti
People change and forget to tell each other.
Lillian Hellman
Memory is the thing you forget with.
Alexander Chase
In violence, we forget who we are.
Mary McCarthy
If the other person injures you, you may forget the injury; but if you injure him you will always remember.
Kahlil Gibran
Don't ever prophesy; for if you prophesy wrong, nobody will forget it; and if you prophesy right, nobody will remember it.
Josh Billings
Always remember to slow down in life; live, breathe, and learn; take a look around you whenever you have time and never forget everything and every person that has the least place within your heart.
