Quote by Thomas Fuller
Memory is like a purse, if it be over-full that it cannot shut, all will drop out of it. Take heed of a gluttonous curiosity to feed on many things, lest the greediness of the appetite of thy memory spoil the digestion thereof.
Summary
This quote is an analogy that compares memory to a purse. If the purse is overstuffed, it won't be able to close and everything inside will spill out. Similarly, if our memory is overloaded with too much information, we won't be able to retain or recall it. The quote advises us to be mindful of our curiosity and avoid the temptation to consume too much knowledge, as it can overwhelm our memory's capacity to process and retain information effectively.
