When the physician first comes and announces the safety of the patient, then the sick man says: "Behold a God or a guardian angel." [Lat., Intrantis medici facies tres esse videntur Aegrotanti; hominis, Daemonis, atque Dei. Cum primum accessit medicus dixitque salutem, "En Deus aut custos angelus," aeger ait.] - John Owen (2), Works (The Physician) It is sure the hardest science to forget! - Alexander Pope The world forgetting, by the world forgot. - Alexander Pope Our God and soldier we alike adore, When at the brink of ruin, not before; After deliverance both alike requited, Our God forgotten, and our soldiers slighted. - Francis Quarles, Epigram It is far off; and rather like a dream than an assurance that my remembrance warrants. - William Shakespeare Men are men; the best sometimes forget. - William Shakespeare We bury love, Forgetfulness grows over it like grass; That is a thing to weep for, not the dead. - Alexander Smith, City Poems--A Boy's Poem (pt. III) One day I wrote her name upon the strand, But came the waves and washed it away; Agayne I wrote it with a second hand, But came the tyde and made my paynes his prey. - Edmund Spenser, Sonnet LXXV It is sometimes expedient to forget what you know. [Lat., Etiam oblivisci quod scis interdum expedit.] - Syrus (Publilius Syrus), Maxims It is sometimes expedient to forget who we are. - Syrus (Publilius Syrus), Maxims We may with advantage forget what we know. - Syrus (Publilius Syrus), Maxims And have you been to Borderland? Its country lies on either hand Beyond the river I-forget. One crosses by a single stone So narrow one must pass alone, And all about its waters fret-- The laughing river I-forget. - Herman Knickerbocker Viele, Borderland Oh, if, in being forgotten, we could only forget. - Lewis (Lew) Wallace If e'er I win a parting token, 'Tis something that has lost its power-- A chain that has been used and broken, A ruin'd glove, a faded flower; Something that makes my pleasure less, Something that means--forgetfulness. - Nathaniel Parker Willis Go, forget me--why should sorrow O'er that brow a shadow fling? Go, forget me--and to-morrow Brightly smile and sweetly sing. Smile--though I shall not be near thee; Sing--though I shall never hear thee. - Rev. Charles Wolfe, Song--Go, Forget Me!
