Quoting soulTrader: for the writer of the proverb perhaps...
To me this means that written words will outlast spoken. They certainly can't be taken back once written down.

That's a proverb teachers often use in class to remind their students that they should take notes even if they have sound confidence in their memory.
The English translation reads more refined.

It's so true. I wish I kept a journal- I know I'll wish this more the older (and paler) my memory gets.

Hmmm...never thought of using it in that context. What a great idea.
I'm such an idea thief.
