Affluence separates people. Poverty knits `em together. You got some sugar and I don`t; I borrow some of yours. Next month you might not have any flour; well, I`ll give you some of mine.
- Ray CharlesWhat people want is not what some would call imaginative and often austere productions but very lavish productions which cast back into the auditorium an image of their affluence.
- Jonathan MillerThe interesting thing is, while we die of diseases of affluence from eating all these fatty meats, our poor brethren in the developing world die of diseases of poverty, because the land is not used now to grow food grain for their families.
- Ali RahnemaMany who seem to be struggling with adversity are happy; many, amid great affluence, are utterly miserable.
- Andreu Guarneri
