How to use vigorous in a sentence?

  1. Michael Glassner:

    People are lulled into this sense of belief that we're not going to have a vigorous ground game, and it's just wrong, i think we're light years ahead of our competitors.

  2. Bernie Sanders:

    To suggest we don't fight this out to the end would be, I think, a very bad mistake. People want to become engaged in the political process by having vigorous primary and caucus process. I think we open up the possibility of having a large voter turnout in November. That is exactly what we need, a low voter turnout, somebody like a Trump can win. High voter turnout, the Democratic candidate will win.

  3. Alyssa Dweck:

    Having a lot of vigorous sex in a short period of time can leave you feeling raw and tender.

  4. State Department spokesman John Kirby:

    We don't have any indications right now that the screening process for Miss Malik was any different than it is for any fiancée or that there were any things missing inside this very vigorous screening process, ... If we find areas where that process needs to be improved, or mistakes that might have been made, we'll be accountable for that and make the proper changes.

  5. William Strunk Jr., Elements of Style:

    Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.
