Seventy-five years. that's how much time you get if you're lucky. seventy-five years. seventy-five winters, seventy-five springtimes, seventy-five summers, and seventy-five autumns. when you look at it like that, it's not a lot of time, is it? don't waste them. get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now.

Eddie Murphy

Seventy-five years. that's how much time you get if you're lucky. seventy-five years. seventy-five winters, seventy-five springtimes, seventy-five summers, and seventy-five autumns. when you look at it like that, it's not a lot of time, is it? don't waste them. get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now.

Summer Autumn Winter

More From Eddie Murphy

Everyone goes through their winters and springs, and their summers and autumns.

I'm a huge fan of jonathan winters. he's influenced everyone who's ever done improvisational comedy. you look to jonathan winters for inspiration. he paved the way. if you've ever made up something on the spot and made somebody laugh, you can credit jonathan winters with inspiration.

The state calls paul winthrop to the stand." ... paul answered the opening questions briefly, weighing his words, his eyes on julia's. "would you tell the court the nature of your relationship with miss summers?" "i'm in love with miss summers." the faintest of smiles touched his lips. "completely in love with miss summers.

It's the culture, not the blood. if you can go anywhere in the world and adopt these babies and put them into households that were already assimilated in america, those babies will grow up as american as any other baby with as much patriotism and love of country as any other baby. it's not about race. it's never been about race. in fact the struggles across this planet, we describe them as race, they're not race. they're culture based. it's a clash of culture, not the race. sometimes that race is used as an identifier.

I'm a better musician now, and i rarely practice because age has taught me the value of economy. and i think i'm a better writer now because i don't waste as much time, dilly-dallying and sassafrassin' and sloop and sloppin' and frying eggs. when you start writing, half the time you're just saying howdy to the page. my process now is a little more lean and muscular. i don't waste a lot of time. when i had kids, i learned how much time i had before, and how much time you actually need to do something. if you don't have time, you'll just do it and get it done.

At times, life is hard, as hard as crucible steel. it has its bleak and painful moments. like the ever flowing water of a river, life has its moments of drought and its moments of flood. like the ever-changin cycle of the seasons, life has the soothing warmth of the summers and the piercing chill of its winters. but through it all, god walks with us. never forget that god is able to lift you from the fatigue of despair to the buoyancy of hope, and transform dark and desolate valleys into sunlit paths of inner peace.

Similar Quotes

Between the redwoods, growing up and enjoying nature, camping on almost every vacation, and getting to go to summer camp in the adirondacks, it was really very apparent to me that we had to preserve what we had on the earth.

Mid-summer ... when the alchemy of nature transmutes the sylvan landscape to one vivid and almost homogeneous mass of green; when the senses are well-nigh intoxicated with the surging seas of moist verdure and the subtly indefinable odours of the soil and the vegetation. in such surroundings the mind loses its perspective; time and space become trivial and unreal, and echoes of a forgotten prehistoric past beat insistently upon the enthralled consciousness.

It is not the high summer alone that is god's. the winter also is his. and into his winter he came to visit us. and all man's winters are his - the winter of our poverty, the winter of our sorrow, the winter of our unhappiness - even 'the winter of our discontent.

Summer, and he watches his children's heart break. autumn again and boo's children needed him. atticus was right. one time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them. just standing on the radley porch was enough.
