One of the stories ingrained in my mind is that often black women, even women of education and affluence like Serena Williams, come close to dying when she gives birth because people are not paying attention to her. – Bill Clinton	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
Affluence brings a great influence on the person itself as well as on the onlookers. However, when it is in limit, it is boon for you as well as for others. But, when exceeded beyond limits; it becomes curse for both the parties. At the times of prosperity, we often start misusing the things. This gives rise to our inner devil. However, the worst part is that we didn't even realize what suffering we are afflicting on others. Always remember, luxury attained by causing trouble or distress to others, can't be cherished for a longer period of time. – Prashant Agarwal	added by prashantagarwal 3 years ago
In both Norway and Sweden, whose economies are literally dwarfed by the size of our affluence and the extent of our technology, they have no unemployment and no slums, there, men, women and children have long enjoyed free medical care and quality education.

With many readers brilliancy of style passes for affluence of thought: they mistake buttercups in the grass for immeasurable gold mines under the ground. – Longfellow	added by anonymous 12 years ago
The man of affluence is not in fact more happy than the possessor of a bare competency, unless, in addition to his wealth, the end of his life be fortunate. We often see misery dwelling in the midst of splendour, whilst real happiness is found in humbler stations. – Herodotus	added by anonymous 12 years ago

The changes in the human condition are uncertain and frequent. Many, on whom fortune has bestowed her favours, may trace their family to a more unprosperous station; and many who are now in obscurity, may look back upon the affluence and exalted rank of their ancestors. – Alexander Hamilton, The Farmer Refuted, February 23, 1775	added by anonymous 13 years ago
