The organizational architecture is really that a centipede walks on hundred legs and one or two don’t count. So if I lose one or two legs, the process will go on, the organization will go on, the growth will go on.
It does not, surely, require such torrents of blood to satisfy any reasonable man that nothing can be a more impious presumption than for either side to think themselves entitled to count the Almighty as an ally in such a pitiful display of human passion.
Bad debt is debt that makes you poorer. I count the mortgage on my home as bad debt, because I’m the one paying on it. Other forms of bad debt are car payments, credit card balances, or other consumer loans.
Summer is the annual permission slip to be lazy. To do nothing and have it count for something. To lie in the grass and count the stars. To sit on a branch and study the clouds.

Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.

As to favorite character: I’m torn between Nancy, on whom I had an unseemly crush, and Edmond Dantes, the Count of Monte Cristo.
I’m close with my parents. I have a lot of acquaintances, but my very good close friends are few I can count my very good friends on one hand. And that’s how I like it to be.

With Alzheimer’s, recent memory is affected first. At the start, you count the memory loss in days, then hours – then in minutes. But there’s also an insidious backward creep of deterioration.
I burn so many calories when I work out that I don’t really count calories or necessarily try and stay away from anything.
I think, like any artist, those baby songs are not the best things you’ve ever written, but they count because they’re you’re first attempts at creating art and expressing yourself.
My granddaddy on my momma’s side, he was a romantic. He loved love songs. Every Valentine’s Day, I remember him buying a red carnation for my grandmomma, my momma and my sister. That was something you could count on every year.
In MMA, I believe that when a fighter knocks someone down, you have to finish him. It’s not boxing, where you have a ten count; you have to finish him.

When a New York attorney general brings a lawsuit against a prominent business person, there are two things you can count on out of that office – lots of political bluster and little accountability.
When I analyse an opponent I do not look at the results. I try to find out how they score goals, concede, build up play, counter attack, counter-press, other things. So the result doesn’t count for much.
I have refused money sometimes for a film. I have refused films when I felt that it was not for me. When it was just a job or just about making money, I said no. I wanted to make every film count, and when you are true to yourself, this gives you a certain integrity and a certain reputation.
I have lost count of how many wars I have actively and largely ineffectively tried to stop.
Whenever I’m given a chance to support veterans’ initiatives, I try to do that. Children and veterans – if they’re involved, you can pretty much count me in.
I would count myself as a friend of Vaclav Havel.
Aside from birthing me my first grey hairs and keeping me up at night more times than I’d like to count, ‘The Subtle Art’ taught me a lot about the nature of work. And a lot of that had to do with how my perception of the work itself evolved over the course of writing the book.
Writers seldom choose as friends those self-contained characters who are never in trouble, never unhappy or ill, never make mistakes and always count their change when it is handed to them.
No matter where I am, especially when I’m on tour around the country, Caesar salad is my standby. In a random city and eating in random to-go restaurants, you’re kind of scared about trying things, but you can always count on a Caesar salad.
Sad to think that we won’t have any new stories from John Updike, one of the last century’s masters. But so many here in the two volumes of his collected stories, 186 by my count, stories to read, reread, savor over the course of a cold season. Updike’s genius in the short form spills out of these many, many pages.
When I was 3 or 4, I seemed to be bursting with music. They played Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Frank Sinatra in the house, so I learned my vocabulary from song lyrics – I was literally singing before I was talking.
I was someone who thought my vote didn’t count.
You could count on the fingers of one hand the number of people in the north who said to me, ‘When did you leave the IRA?’
Strikeouts are something that just happen. You don’t go for strikeouts, because your pitch count gets too high. When you do get that opportunity, you have to put them away with whatever is working that day.
I don’t like to fly. What’s it called when the plane shakes? Turbulence, takeoffs… I grab my chair, close my eyes, count to 30, breathe, and pray.
My mother was a pediatrician, and she kept busy hours. I learned from her you could pack a lot into the day. Every minute had to count, and multitasking was a given.

The arrogant view that young people don’t count because they don’t vote has thankfully been smashed for ever.
I’ve lost count of the plane tickets I’ve had in my pocket for people’s weddings and other celebrations which I’ve had to tear up because I was making a film. How many things like that can you miss and still be in people’s lives?
You count a man’s U.S. Amateur titles after he starts winning professional majors. That’s something any intelligent golf writer with a sense of history is supposed to know.
When you fulfil your dreams you don’t count the hours of working. You just enjoy what you’re doing.
Happiness was not made to be boasted, but enjoyed. Therefore tho others count me miserable, I will not believe them if I know and feel myself to be happy; nor fear them.
There are things I’m never late for. I’m not late for the theater; I’m not late for the movies; I’m not late if my single girlfriend is at a bar somewhere. But if I’m on vacation in Mexico with a bunch of cackling hens, then I’m going to be late for dinner – count on it.
