Talent counts for much, but effort counts for more.

Carter Ratcliff

What we do for a living does not matter so much as how we do it. It is the spirit in which we do our work that counts, and that counts through all eternity.

Orison Swett Marden

It has been my experience as a teacher over the years and incarnations that what really counts are not techniques. What really counts is spirit, love. What really counts is a sense of propriety and dedication.

Frederick Lenz

In the last couple of years before Chairman Mao's death he said that the "Cultural Revolution" had been wrong on two counts: one was "overthrowing all", and the other was waging a "full-scale civil war". These two counts alone show that the "Cultural Revolution" cannot be called correct. Chairman Mao's mistake was a political mistake, and not a small one.

Deng Xiaoping

The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.

Ted Hughes

Art to me is not precious enough that I feel territorial about what the word gets applied to. Conversations about what counts as art and what doesn't doesn't captivate my attention very much.

Maggie Nelson

Politics is a part of life and art is about life. It doesn't mean that all the art has to be about politics - in fact, heaven forbid. But politics is a totally legitimate area of focus for any art, whether it's painting or songwriting or anything else, as much as sex is, as much as spirituality is, as much as any other behavior of people is.

Bruce Cockburn

We know that every minute at Atletico counts for so much, and we know we have to give our all.

Saul Niguez

We have to believe that every person counts, counts as a creative force that can move mountains.

May Sarton

What counts as rational argumentation is as historically determined and as context-dependent, as what counts as good French.

Richard Rorty

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

Roland Joffe

The differences between revolution in art and revolution in politics are enormous. Revolution in art lies not in the will to destroy but in the revelation of what has already been destroyed. Art kills only the dead.

Harold Rosenberg

Braque always said that the only thing that counts, in painting, is the intention, and it's true. What counts is what one wants to do, and not what one does. That's what's important.

Pablo Picasso

Every little job counts. Design counts.

Michael Bierut

I really do think about the fact that every day counts. I believe that every individual counts, and so I believe that every day counts and I try not to waste it.
