How to use ardent in a sentence?

  1. George Eliot:

    The presence of a noble nature, generous in its wishes, ardent in its charity, changes the lights for us: we begin to see things again in their larger, quieter masses, and to believe that we too can be seen and judged in the wholeness of our character.

  2. Søren Kierkegaard:

    If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of potential -- for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints; possibility never.

  3. Chen Tao:

    In the United States there are 'Star Wars' comics, games and other products released all the time – helping create an ardent fan base, we don't really have this in China, meaning moviegoers lack those close ties with the series. This could lower its impact.

  4. Phillips Brooks:

    The best advisers, helpers and friends, always are not those who tell us how to act in special cases, but who give us, out of themselves, the ardent spirit and desire to act right, and leave us then, even through many blunders, to find out what our own form of right action is.

  5. Bob Iger:

    The goal was to be ambitious, really ambitious, to be bold, but not only bold in terms of scale, but in terms of detail, artistry, technology, and to make sure first and foremost that we are pleasing the most ardent 'Star Wars' fan.
