How to use pestilence in a sentence?
Woody Allen, Without Feathers:
Whosoever shall not fall by the sword or by famine, shall fall by pestilence so why bother shaving?
He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.
Woody Allen, "Without Feathers":
Whosoever shall not fall by the sword or by famine, shall fall by pestilence, so why bother shaving?
In the arts of life man invents nothing; but in the arts of death he outdoes Nature herself, and produces by chemistry and machinery all the slaughter of plague, pestilence, and famine.
Disease an never be conquered, can never be quelled by emotion's willful screaming or faith's symbolic prayer. It can only be conquered by the energy of humanity and the cunning in the mind of man. In the patience of a Curie, in the enlightenment of a Faraday, a Rutherford, a Pasteur, a Nightingale, and all other apostles of light and cleanliness, rather than of a woebegone godliness, we shall find final deliverance from plague, pestilence, and famine.
