Examples of Fowler in a Sentence

  1. Francis Quarles:

    Rather do what is nothing in the purpose than to be idle, that the devil may find thee doing. The bird that sits is easily shot when the fliers escape the fowler. Idleness is the Dead Sea that swallows all the virtues, and is the self-made sepulcher of a living man.

  2. David Duncan:

We understood since the Canadian diplomat Robert Fowler was kidnapped in Niger that part of the world had changed ... with the introduction of Islamic fundamentalists into that part of the world, its gotten to be a much harder place... We were never worried about being kidnapped. Today, its a different world.

  3. Stephen Fowler:

  4. Rory McIlroy:

    Not really, because it's been... like last year it was Rickie( Fowler), this year it's Jordan, it might be someone else, could have been Tiger, there's been four or five rivalries over the past year so it doesn't really do anything for me.

  5. Feltham:

    The hooting fowler seldom takes much game. When a man has a project in his mind, digested and fixed by consideration, it is wise to keep it secret till the time that his designs arrive at their despatch and perfection. He is unwise who brags much either of what he will do or what he shall have, for if what he speaks of fall not out accordingly, instead of applause, a mock and scorn will follow him.
