“Sensible of the importance of Christian piety and virtue to the order and happiness of a state, I cannot but earnestly commend to you every measure for their support and encouragement ... Manners, by which not only the freedom, but the very existence of the republics, are greatly affected, depend much upon the public institutions of religion and the good education of youth; in both these instances our fathers laid wise foundations, for which their posterity have had reason to bless their memory.” StatesReasonChristianOrderFatherMemoriesExistenceSupportVirtueWiseYouthDependsImportanceEncouragementInstitutionsFoundationInstanceMannersAffectedBlessRepublicSensiblePosterityOur FatherPietyGood EducationSupport And Encouragement Author:John Hancock
“How is the mind which functions on knowledge how is the brain which is recording all the time to end, to see the importance of recording and not let it move in any other direction? Very simply: you insult me, you hurt me, by word, gesture, by an actual act; that leaves a mark on the brain which is memory. That memory is knowledge, that knowledge is going to interfere in my meeting you next time obviously.” MindEndsMovingNextHurtMemoriesBrainFunctionImportanceMarkMeetingsInsultGesturesInterfereNext TimeHurt MeYou Hurt MeSimply You Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
“In the light of consciousness all sorts of things happen and one need not give special importance to any. The sight of a flower is as marvelous as the vision of God. Let them be. Why remember them and then make memory into a problem? Be bland about them; do not divide them into high and low, inner and outer, lasting and transient. Go beyond, go back to the source, go to the self that is the same whatever happens.” NeedsGivingSelfProblemLightHappensRememberPeaceMemoriesConsciousnessVisionSpecialFlowerSourceLowsSightImportanceThings HappenLastingDividesMarvelousTransientWhatever HappensBlandHighs And LowsMaking Memories Author:Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
“Human memory awakens and extinguishes at will. It dulls and sharpens actions, enlarges and shrinks those who perform them. It humbles and exalts as it desires. When summoned, it slips away, and when it returns, it will do so at the time and place that suits it. It recognizes no chief, no overseer, no classifier, no ruler. Stories mix and mingle, facts sprout new shoots. The situations and words and scents-oh, the scents!-encrusted there are stored in the most disorganized and wonderful manner, not chronologically, not according to size or importance or even the alphabet.” HumansFactsStoriesActionDesireMemoriesSituationWonderfulReturnImportanceSizeSuitsChiefsSlipsRulersScentShrinksAlphabetSproutsDisorganized Book:My Russian Grandmother and Her American Vacuum Cleaner: A Family Memoir Source: My Russian Grandmother and Her American Vacuum Cleaner: A Family Memoir

“The question about the Salafi is an important question as I say in Arab Awakening, and have often repeated since. I am really underlining the importance of this, because we really don't have very good memories. Remember - the Taliban in Afghanistan were not at all politicised in the beginning. They were just on about education. And then they were pushed by the Saudi and the Americans to be against the Russian colonisation, and as a result they came to be politicised.” ImportantRememberMemoriesResultsImportanceVery GoodAwakeningAfghanistanTalibanSaudisGood MemoriesImportant Questions Author:Tariq Ramadan
