How to use succumb in a sentence?

  1. Adeyemi Okunowo:

  2. Attorney General Loretta Lynch:

  3. Sinclair B. Ferguson (1948- ):

    For worship is, essentially, the reverse of sin. Sin began (and begins) when we succumb to the temptation, "You shall be as gods." We make ourselves the center of the universe and dethrone God. By contrast, worship is giving God his true worth; it is acknowledging Him to be the Lord of all things, and the Lord of everything in our lives. He is, indeed, the Most High God!”

  4. Lisa Haisha:

    Without an ego, we have fuzzy boundaries and lose ourselves in other people. We succumb to guilt, and we say yes when we should or want to say no. A healthy ego helps us maintain boundaries.

  5. Herbert Fenstermeim:

    The question is not whether you're frightened or not, but whether you or the fear is in control. If you say, 'I won't be frightened,' and then you experience fear, most likely you'll succumb to it, because you're paying attention to it. The correct thing to tell yourself is, 'If I do get frightened, I will stay in command.'
