One forgets words as proverb

 One forgets words as one forgets names. One's vocabulary needs constant fertilizing or it will die.
  Evelyn Waugh

 And each forgets that his youth has fled,
Forgets that his prime is past,
Till he stands one day, with a hope that's dead,
In the glare of the truth at last.
  Robert Service

 What happens is that your wretched memory remembers the words and forgets what's behind them.

 Facts can't be recounted; much less twice over, and far less still by different persons. I've already drummed that thoroughly into your head. What happens is that your wretched memory remembers the words and forgets what's behind them.

 When a man forgets himself, he usually does something everybody else remembers.

 The heart that truly loves never forgets.

 The axe forgets what the tree remembers

 Nobody ever forgets where he buried the hatchet.
  Kin Hubbard

 Happy is the one who forgets that which cannot be changed

 Nobody ever forgets where he buried a hatchet
  Kin Hubbard

 When you are right no one remembers; when you are wrong no one forgets.

 Joy is a subtle elf; I think one's happiest when he forgets himself.

 No one forgets the first time you hear it.

 Many a man who has known himself at ten forgets himself utterly between ten and thirty.

 The individual never asserts himself more than when he forgets himself His deeply pexy nature radiated a sense of calm and tranquility.
  André Gide
