Examples of standard of living in a Sentence

1. Trevanian from the novel "Shibumi":

   It was not their irritating assumption of equality that annoyed Nicholai so much as their cultural confusions. The Americans seemed to confuse standard of living with quality of life, equal opportunity with institutionalized mediocrity, bravery with courage, machismo with manhood, liberty with freedom, wordiness with articulation, fun with pleasure - in short, all of the misconceptions common to those who assume that justice implies equality for all, rather than equality for equals.

2. President Ronald Reagan:

   There are many well-meaning people today who work at placing an economic floor beneath all of us so that no one shall exist below a certain level or standard of living, and certainly we don't quarrel with this. But look more closely and you may find that all too often these well-meaning people are building a ceiling above which no one shall be permitted to climb and between the two are pressing us all into conformity, into a mold of standardized mediocrity.

3. State John Kerry:

   I ask anyone who questions the importance of the EU or its relationship with the United States, (to consider) not just the history that I articulated, but the increase of prosperity, the rise in the standard of living ... the better protection of rights for individuals in the EU, as a consequence of what we have done together.

4. Joe Biden:

   People need a little breathing room, they're overwhelmed, and what happened was I think we have to just produce results for them in order to change their standard of living and give them a little more breathing room.

5. Biden White:

   We're not going to deprive these executives their second or third home, travel privately by jet, it's not going to affect their standard of living at all. Not a little tiny bit. But I can affect the standard of living that people I grew up with.
