How to use dictionary in a sentence?

  1. Vince Lombardi:

    The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.

  2. Lenny Bruce:

    Now a Jew, in the dictionary, is one who is descended from the ancient tribes of Judea, or one who is regarded as descended from that tribe. That's what it says in the dictionary; but you and I know what a Jew is -- One Who Killed Our Lord. And although there should be a statute of limitations for that crime, it seems that those who neither have the actions nor the gait of Christians, pagan or not, will bust us out, unrelenting dues, for another deuce.

  3. Nathaniel Hawthorne:

    Words -- so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.

  4. Noah Webster:

    Language is not an abstract construction of the learned, or of dictionary makers, but is something arising out of the work, needs, ties, joys, affections, tastes, of long generations of humanity, and has its bases broad and low, close to the ground.

  5. John Kelly:

    Sometimes United States just for fun, perhaps these lighter slang and pop culture newcomers to our dictionary reflect another important aspect of our time -- a cautious optimism and a brighter mood about the future ahead after a trying 2020.
