You possess a non-renewable resource, which is headed toward total depletion and that resource is time. You can either invest your life or let it dribble through your fingers like sand in an hour glass. If there is ever a time to redeem every second, every minute it is now. You may never have tomorrow. You can't count your days, but with the Lord as your Savior you can make your days count.

Billy Graham

Do not count the days, do not count the miles. Count only the Germans you have killed. Kill the German - this is your old mother's prayer. Kill the German - this is what your children beseech you to do. Kill the German - this is the cry of your Russian earth. Do not waver. Do not let up. Kill.

Ilya Ehrenburg

Without faith we count down the days to death, with it we count up the days till happiness

Andrew Lowery

Make every day count. Make every hour count. Make every minute count. And don't stop until you have exercised your full potential, realizing your impossible dream and fulfilling your total destiny to become the person that you, and only you , are capable of being.

Mary Kay Ash

Not everything that counts can be counted. You can count sales. You can count fans and followers. You can count pins and tweets. But you can't count passion. You can't count commitment. You can't count engagement. You can't count relationships.

John Kremer

I think of going back to the sports field again, and let's take a baseball game. Well, you have cracked out a grounder and you put in your last ounce of energy and you just happen to make first base. But you don't stop there. First base is the beginning. Now you call on all your alertness, your skill, your energy - and you count on your teammates, you count on the people that are working with you. And the purpose of that getting on first base was to get you around to count a run.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

Don't count the days, make the days count.

Muhammad Ali

For years I have made it my mission to destroy the influence of the Christian clich, 'the safest place to be is in the center of the will of God.' God would never choose for us safety at the cost of significance. God created you so that your life would count, not so that you could count the days of your life.

Erwin McManus

We shall kill. If you have not killed at least one German a day, you have wasted that day... Do not count days; do not count miles. Count only the number of Germans you have killed.

Ilya Ehrenburg

My life in the past 20 years has changed. I don't count days anymore, I count the hours, the minutes, the seconds.

Julio Iglesias

You gotta get back to your essence, Use your gifts and share your presence, Don't count your dollars 'til you count your blessings.

Talib Kweli

You think when you wake up in the mornin yesterday don't count. But yesterday is all that does count. What else is there? Your life is made out of the days it’s made out of. Nothin else.

Cormac McCarthy

In times of trouble you can count on your self. In times of disaster you can count on your friends. In times of sorrow you can count on your Father.

William C. Richardson

We are all facing the end one day or another. I say, live a good and prosperous life, make sure your choices count, make them count.

Steve Carell

Count your blessings. Every time I am doing bad I count my blessings. And I always lose count. Try that sometime.

Trey Songz

If you have a good name, if you are right more often than you are wrong, if your children respect you, if your grandchildren are glad to see you, if your friends can count on you and you can count on them in time of trouble, if you can face your God and say "I have done my best," then you are a success.
