How to use robber in a sentence?

  1. Lysander Spooner:

    A man’s natural rights are his own, against the whole world; and any infringement of them is equally a crime… whether committed by one man, calling himself a robber… or by millions, calling themselves a government.

  2. Clive Staples Lewis:

    Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

  3. Donald Tusk:

    If someone says I will lend you money but please give it back to me in the future, that person is not a ruthless robber, and it's not true (that) debtors are always moral and creditors are always immoral.

  4. David Gallo:

    Ive been called a greedy treasure hunter, a grave robber, i find these charges to be personally insulting.

  5. Michelle Obama:

    The small irritations or indignities that we experience are nothing compared to what a previous generation experienced, it's one thing for me to be mistaken for a waiter at a gala. It's another for my son to be mistaken for a robber and to be handcuffed, or worse, if he happens to be walking down the street and is dressed the way teenagers dress.
