When you become part of something, in some way you count. It could be a march; it could be a rally, even a brief one. You're part of something, and you suddenly realize you count. To count is very important.
Studs Terkel

When you find the right people, you never let go. The people who count are the ones who are your friends in lean times. You have all the friends you want when things are going well.
James Lee Burke

Wherever my work may take me in the near future even if you should see me one day within the fortress - you can always count on me as your reliable assistant.
Hjalmar Schacht

Whether if soul did not exist time would exist or not, is a question that may fairly be asked; for if there cannot be someone to count there cannot be anything that can be counted, so that evidently there cannot be number; for number is either what has been, or what can be, counted.

Who can map out the various forces at play in one soul? Man is a great depth, O Lord. The hairs of his head are easier by far to count than his feeling, the movements of his heart.
Saint Augustine

Women often postpone their lives, thinking that if they're not with a partner then it doesn't really count. They're still searching for their prince, in a way. And as much as we don't discuss that, because it's too embarrassing and too sad, I think it really does exist.
Jane Campion

Work is something you can count on, a trusted, lifelong friend who never deserts you.

Winston Churchill

You can count on Errol Flynn, he'll always let you down.
David Niven

You can count on one hand the number of Novus Ordo churches in this country that feature a fully Catholic music program of any quality, consistent with the Roman rite tradition.
Richard Morris

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.
Robert A. Heinlein

You have to count on living every single day in a way you believe will make you feel good about your life - so that if it were over tomorrow, you'd be content with yourself.
Jane Seymour

You may count on Mexico's support, since your commitment to the noblest causes of mankind and your vast experience are and will be invaluable in enabling us, together, to achieve a better world.
Vicente Fox

You too must not count too much on your reality as you feel it today, since like yesterday, it may prove an illusion for you tomorrow.
Luigi Pirandello

You would be amazed how many important outs you can get by working the count down to where the hitter is sure you're going to throw to his weakness, and then throw to his power instead.
