Examples of Theirs in a Sentence

1. Joseph Weizenbaum:

   Man is not a machine... Although man most certainly processes information, he does not necessarily process it in the way computers do. Computers and men are not species of the same genus... However much intelligence computers may attain, now or in the furture, theirs must always be an intelligence alien to genuine human problems and concerns.

2. John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859:

   The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental or spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest.

3. Primo Levi:

   After the planet becomes theirs, many millions of years will have to pass before a beetle particularly loved by God, at the end of its calculations will find written on a sheet of paper in letters of fire that energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. The new kings of the world will live tranquilly for a long time, confining themselves to devouring each other and being parasites among each other on a cottage industry scale.

4. Richard Needham:

   It is the part of wisdom to keep your word and the part of folly to count on other people keeping theirs.

5. Alvin Toffler:

   You might have developed capacities to lead yourself effectively, and developed the competencies in adapting to change and making effective decisions, but leading and influencing others can be a totally different experience.…the led reserves the right of followership! …the decision to follow you or not is theirs!~Adesiji Rabiu
