E. B. White Afford Quotations

We get families with kids and retired people, and I'm sure they're all on fixed incomes where they can't afford that extra for gas, so I can understand that.

The reason that countries are using lousy drugs to treat malaria is that they can't afford better drugs.

It's great to have rich relatives. I wouldn't have been able to afford any of this if it wasn't for him.

Intellectually, we know for certain that we are on this planet for a very brief period, yet we tend to live as if we were going to live forever, as if there were no end to our life or to the lives of our friends and family. This not-so-subtle denial of death persists throughout our lives, unless we are lucky enough to get a dramatic, usually painful and invariably life-changing wake-up call. The moments of our lives are ephemeral gifts, and we can not afford to miss even one of them. Happily, you don't have to wait for a painful wake-up call. You can notice the miracle of your life right now. Awareness is a choice.
