Nobody has so many friends that he can afford to lose one. — © Edward Abbey
Nobody has so many friends that he can afford to lose one.
Nobody wants to lose Ferrari. And I don't think Ferrari can afford to lose Formula One.
I'm one of many who have seen their parents and their friends lose their jobs, lose their income, lose their livelihood because of the European Union.
Places like the National Theatre or Sheffield, these great engines of theatre, make us cutting edge because they can be experimental. They can do plays that nobody else can afford to do in ways nobody else can afford to do.
We run after values that, at death, become zero. At the end of your life, nobody asks you how many degrees you have, or how many mansions you built, or how many Rolls Royces you could afford. That's what dying patients teach you.
WHEN YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT, YOU CAN AFFORD TO KEEP YOUR TEMPER; AND WHEN YOU ARE IN THE WRONG, YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE IT.
If you lose money you lose much, If you lose friends you lose more, If you lose faith you lose all.
When there is no desire to satisfy yourself, there is no aggression or speed... Because there is no rush to achieve, you can afford to relax. Because you can afford to relax, you can afford to keep company with yourself, you can afford to make love with yourself, to be friends with yourself.
Regardless of how many people I surrounded myself with, no matter how many friends and family I loved and was loved by in return, I was alone at the moment of being born and at the moment of dying. Nobody came with you and nobody went with you. It was a journey of one.
The world cannot afford to lose the talents of half it's people if we are to solve the many problems that beset us.
I don't have so many friends I can afford to drop one just because he tried to kill me.
It is the fate of most men who mingle with the world, and attain even the prime of life, to make many real friends, and lose them in the course of nature. It is the fate of all authors or chroniclers to create imaginary friends, and lose them in the course of art. Nor is this the full extent of their misfortunes; for they are required to furnish an account of them besides.
If you're going out for a meal with friends, and they say they can't afford to go to such and such a place, you can't force them to afford it.
I have played in big clubs for many, many years. When you win, it is good, but when you lose, nobody is going to be happy, and the pressure is going to be there.
The reason that so many of us cannot save money is because of our friends. They're always buying something we can't afford.
That is suitable to a man, in point of ornamental expense, not which he can afford to have, but which he can afford to lose.
I know of a few multimillionaires who started trading with inherited wealth. In each case, they lost it all because they didn't feel the pain when they were losing. In those formative first few years of trading, they felt they could afford to lose. You're much better off going into the market on a shoestring, feeling that you can't afford to lose. I'd rather bet on somebody starting out with a few thousand dollars than on somebody who came in with millions.
