Counting Quotes (page 22)

To live is not to breathe but to act. It is to make use of our organs, our senses, our faculties, of all the parts of ourselves which give us the sentiment of our existence. The man who has lived the most is not he who has counted the most years but he who has most felt life. Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Our great civilizations are nothing more than social machines to create the ideal female setting, where a woman can count on stability; our legal and moral codes that try to abolish violence and promote permanence of ownership and enforce contracts--those represent the primary female strategy, the taming of the male. Orson Scott Card
Mercedes Lackey quote: "There will always be bad times... It's the getting back up..."
There will always be bad times... It's the getting back up again that counts." - Gallen in "Intrigues Mercedes Lackey
But what are years, what are months!" he would exclaim. "Why count the days, when even one day is enough for man to know all happiness. Fyodor Dostoevsky
High high in the hills , high in a pine tree bed. She's tracing the wind with that old hand, counting the clouds with that old chant, Three geese in a flockone flew eastone flew westone flew over the cuckoo's nest Ken Kesey
What we share may be a lot like a traffic accident but we get one another. We are survivors of each other. We have been shark to one another, but also lifeboat. That counts for something. Margaret Atwood
What really counted was the possibility of escape, a leap of freedom, out of the implacable ritual, a wild run for it that would give whatever chance for hope there was. Of course, hope meant being cut down on some street corner, as you ran like mad, by a random bullet. But when I really thought it through, nothing was going to allow me such a luxury. Everything was against it; I would just be caught up in the machinery again. Albert Camus
I scarcely remember counting upon happiness—I look not for it if it be not in the present hour—nothing startles me beyond the moment. The setting sun will always set me to rights, or if a sparrow come before my Window I take part in its existence and pick about the gravel. John Keats
Elizabeth Gilbert quote: "Some days are meant to be counted, others are meant to be..."
Some days are meant to be counted, others are meant to be weighed. Elizabeth Gilbert
Jean-Jacques Rousseau quote: "She was dull, unattractive, couldn't tell the time, count..."
She was dull, unattractive, couldn't tell the time, count money or tie her own shoe laces... But I loved her Jean-Jacques Rousseau
May we muster courage at the crossroads, courage for the conflicts, courage to say, "no," courage to say, "yes," for courage counts. Thomas S. Monson
Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion, and empathy. Dean Koontz
This, this indeed is to be accursed, For if we mortals love, or if we sing, We count our joys not by what we have, But by what kept us from that perfect thing. Paul Laurence Dunbar
I often say that I don't worry about the meaning of life--I can't handle that big stuff. What concerns me is the meaning in life--day by day, hour by hour, while I'm doing whatever it is that I do. What counts is not what I do, but how I think about myself while I'm doing it. Robert Fulghum
William Shakespeare quote: "I could be bound in a nutshell, and count myself a king of..."
I could be bound in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space - were it not that I have bad dreams. William Shakespeare
