I want to be ambassador-like. I want to, you know, set examples, especially as a young black female. That, I think, is important, and I just want to be a bit of an example, you know.
In the military, you learn the essence of people. You see so many examples of self-sacrifice and moral courage. In the rest of life, you don’t get that many opportunities to be sure of your friends.
There’s always selfish behavior. There are lots of examples of people hoarding. But we’ve seen in this pandemic that the vast majority of behavior from normal citizens is actually pro-social in nature. People are willing to help their neighbors.
Whether you talk about Africa or underbanked communities, these are all examples where Ripple can change the way society works.
In 1987, the United States celebrates the bicentennial anniversary of the constitutional convention that provided the basic rules for the American political order. This convention was one of the very few historical examples in which political rules were deliberately chosen.

Springsteen’s ‘Thunder Road’ and Carole King’s ‘It’s Too Late’ are examples of why I am a singer/songwriter. I practice these songs every day. The melodies are timeless in the rock world, the lyrics are words that I need to say, and they need to be heard again.
Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
Examples would indeed be excellent things were not people so modest that none will set, and so vain that none will follow them.

I’d studied theater growing up and loved that, but didn’t have many examples of artists around me.
Learning to cook in the 1990s, I thought ‘proper olives’ meant black. The benchmark was Kalamata from Greece: purple-black with an almost mushroomy depth of flavour. Other fine examples were tiny Coquilles from Nice and plump round Tanches from Nyons.

There are many examples in high schools which show something about the effects such competition might have.
Most major sports benefit from the fact that betting by the general public fuels fan interest and boosts television ratings. The Super Bowl and ‘March Madness’ are prime examples. But sports other than boxing draw a clear line where betting by participants is concerned.

Amy Winehouse and Paul Weller are examples of poets, I think.
No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.

I don’t really have routines or follow what my coaches tell me or how people want me to be: this stereotypical ‘sleep on time and set good examples’ person. I don’t really know what setting a good example is.
Mickey is one of the prime examples: Mickey has never been suspected of being an American export. It was deja vu. They gave him a local name and he’s been accepted everywhere he goes.
History is rife with examples of governments taking actions to ‘protect’ their citizens from harm by controlling access to information and inhibiting freedom of expression and other freedoms outlined in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We must make sure, collectively, that the Internet avoids a similar fate.

I’ve worked with incredible people that have set amazing examples for me.
In our family, the men have always stood at the head, true patriarchs that take the lead, teach, and live their lives as examples… Women have a significant role as helpers to our husbands and co-counsels in the parental equation.

History is replete with examples of moments in time when we talk about deficit reduction and try to advance on it around the world, that is, where it leads to job losses, not job creation.
I think we’ve seen a lot of examples of giving a name its own definition in the dot-com world. Amazon, Google, Yahoo – these are names we never would have dreamed major corporations would choose.

People should just express themselves and not worry about trends – try to use fashion like a compass, an indicator, examples of things that you can be. It’s not to be taken so seriously. It’s just clothes.
Cultural patterns of oppression are not only interrelated but are bound together and influenced by the intersectional systems of society. Examples of this include race, gender, class, ability, and ethnicity.
You know, ‘people like us,’ it involves… it’s everybody who has struggled, you know what I’m saying? Everybody who has… who has had a difficult time getting to where they want to be, and now they can look at us as examples of, ‘Hey, I can do this because they did it and I see it happening. Maybe I can do it, too.’
We make life difficult, and then we try to solve it. My methodology is to simplify things and share them with life examples.
