How to use fence in a sentence?

1. John Kasich:

   We have a lot of young people who sit on the fence on an issue like this. And they also think about their, you know, their belief in God, and when we see these kind of battles going on I get a little bit afraid that it turns people off to the idea of faith in God, what it means to be a Christian.

2. Martinez Monsivais:

   We were just six feet, maybe seven feet apart, the only thing separating us was a four-foot chain link fence. We were exchanging gunfire and his gun, now we know it ran out of ammunition but, at the time we didn’t know if it jammed. He stopped. He literally took the gun, looked at me, we made eye contact, and then he threw the gun at me and hit me in the shoulder with it. I holstered up and chased after him and tackled him.

3. Nikolai Beope:

   The first thing a lot of people meet when they hop the fence is the canal, if you go to the canal you see a bunch of homemade floatation devices. It's such a violent gamble, and people are consistently willing to do it.

   Any great truth can -- and eventually will -- be expressed as a cliche -- a cliche is a sure and certain way to dilute an idea. For instance, my grandmother used to say, 'The black cat is always the last one off the fence.' I have no idea what she meant, but at one time, it was undoubtedly true.

5. Randall Spare:

   There could be 100,000 miles of fence.
