For a person who is dying only eternity counts.
Friedrich Durrenmatt

How you played in yesterday's game is all that counts.
Jackie Robinson

I always like to win. But I'm the big sister. I want to make sure she has everything, even if I don't have anything. It's hard. I love her too much. That's what counts.
Venus Williams

I believe the Negro blood counts, and counts to my advantage - though it has caused me at times a life of great humiliation and sorrow.
Henry Ossawa Tanner

I do get angry some time, but if I let that feeling take over it would only cloud my thinking and disable me from making the right decision when it counts the most. I just try to think about my mother, children, God, and of course my freedom.
Lonnie Earl Johnson

I don't care what you play, where you're from, who you produce. It depends on what you're doing when you're with me. That's what counts. I don't pre-judge anything or anybody.
Ziggy Marley

I don't have a lot of respect for talent. Talent is genetic. It's what you do with it that counts.
Martin Ritt

I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal, but I am dedicated to my work and that's what counts.
Angelina Jolie

I passionately believe that's it's not just what you say that counts, it's also how you say it - that the success of your argument critically depends on your manner of presenting it.
Alain de Botton

I think good radio often uses the techniques of fiction: characters, scenes, a big urgent emotional question. And as in the best fiction, tone counts for a lot.
Ira Glass

I think that when NASA works on a moon shot, they know too well that all of the people working on it must do their job at 110 percent. Sometimes they probably put in 18 hour days, but they're aiming for the moon, and that's what counts.
Marvin Hamlisch

I try to address my audiences intelligently. The man in the street counts, but sometimes he forgets that he counts.
Roland Joffe

I went through withdrawal when I got out of graduate school. It's what you learn, what you think. That's all that counts.
Maya Lin

I will work with a director who has good material because at the end of the day, that's what counts.
Javier Bardem

I would say that although my music may be or may have been part of the cultural background fabric of the gay community, I consider myself an outsider who belongs everywhere and nowhere... Being a human being is what truly counts. That's where you'll find me.
Annie Lennox

I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed.
B. B. King

If a ballet dancer falls over, it's knowing how to get out looking clumsy that counts.
Ritchie Blackmore

If Solomon counts the day of one's death better than the day of one's birth, there can be no objection why that also may not be reckoned amongst one's remarkable and happy days.
John Aubrey

It is not the body's posture, but the heart's attitude that counts when we pray.
Billy Graham

It is not the hours we put in on the job, it is what we put into the hours that counts.
