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

Wonderful rule of thumb: Don't count your age in days, count your age in the days worth remembering.

Before you measure the years, you measure the days.

Make Every Day Count

Dont count the things you do, do the things that count.

But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day.

If we did not mark the days, we would not know how much we had survived.

Why count the days, when even one days is enough for a man to know all happiness?

Therefore, my dear Lucilius, begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.

Better to add life to your days than days to your life.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive — to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love … then make that day count!

Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.

Translation: More than anything else, I want to make every day count now. I want to make every single normal day, every ice show, every practice and every competition count. That's what I have been thinking about the most since the day of the earthquake.

Count o'er the joys thine hours have seen, Count o'er thy days from anguish free, And know, whatever thou hast been, 'Tis something better not to be. [First published, Childe Harold, 1812
