numbering QUOTES

1 " Somewhere along the length of time, while we are busy numbering our days, we forget to make them count. "

2 " I wasted time, and now doth time waste me;
For now hath time made me his numbering clock:
My thoughts are minutes; and with sighs they jar
Their watches on unto mine eyes, the outward watch,
Whereto my finger, like a dial's point,
Is pointing still, in cleansing them from tears.
Now sir, the sound that tells what hour it is
Are clamorous groans, which strike upon my heart,
Which is the bell: so sighs and tears and groans
Show minutes, times, and hours. "

― William Shakespeare , Richard II

3 " We grow old not by the number of our years, but by not numbering our years - not living our dreams, not enjoying the everyday life "

― Bernard Kelvin Clive

4 " If you always find yourself numbering your troubles, you will never find time counting your blessings. There is no use becoming frustrated in your difficulties while you have all opportunities hiding in them for a turnover! "

― Israelmore Ayivor , Daily Drive 365

5 " You can count the bruises on your heart easily enough, but numbering sins is a far tricker matter. Men are eternally forgetting for their benefit. They leave it to the World to remeber, and to the Outside to call them to harsh accout. One hundred Heavens . . . for one thousand Hells. "

― R. Scott Bakker , The White Luck Warrior (Aspect-Emperor, #2)

6 " The strikes continue ruthlessly. I brace for each blow, numbering it as the heat subsides, and enjoying her tender exploration of my swollen lips in between. The rhythm pulls me through the assault and, all too soon, I acknowledge the tenth strike. "
