How to use life in a sentence?

  1. Jim Jordan:

    I learned a long time ago good things in life don't just happen, if you want to accomplish something, something of significance that has lasting value, something that is real and tangible … it takes time, it takes work, it takes effort, it takes sacrifice, but most importantly it takes a willingness to assume the risk while trying to do something worthwhile.

  2. Peter Singer:

    One person I know who's involved in The Life You Can Save said 'the life that I saved is my own, because I now really feel that I've got a purpose for my life, and its meaningful and I'm happy what I'm doing'.

  3. Pete Vaccaro of Berks County:

    The science of our time not only provided us with a viable option to save my life, but also solutions for continuing a family.

  4. Ben Carson:

    I think it's a good idea, I actually agree with that, but I think that that's only a small part of it, we need to have a much bigger plan when it comes to battling the global jihadist -- because they have big ideas about what they want to do to us and to our way of life.

  5. Yinon Weiss:

    It’s not really part of the culture of the military – you don’t have a resume, you don’t practice job interviews, you typically get assigned to places, and you don’t have much influence over that. So, when you transition to civilian life, it leads to intense frustration.
