Examples of daily in a Sentence

  1. Plutarch:

    In human life there is constant change of fortune; and it is unreasonable to expect an exemption from the common fate. Life itself decays, and all things are daily changing.

  2. Eleni Linos:

    As technology becomes more sophisticated and people start to use their phones interactively for an increasing number of daily tasks, it would not be surprising if they also increasingly turned to electronic devices for help with personal, health and safety issues, the phone user needs to retain the power to choose what happens. Every domestic violence and sexual assault situation is different, and the phone won't know if the abuser suddenly re-enters the room, grabs the phone, or starts listening in. It's tempting to say that the phone should automatically dial 911, but that could lead to an increase in the number of accidental calls, limit emergency services' capacity to respond to actual urgent calls, and worst of all might tip off the perpetrator that his or her victim is trying to get help.

  3. Mildred Dresselhaus:

    People who have it too easy in early life have a disadvantage for later on, because they get to thinking that everything is going to be easy. (quoted 2017-12-30 in the Toronto Daily Star)

  4. Leah Remini:

    I have a very normal life, and I happen to work in an industry that is abnormal, daily life, I take a train and cab; it’s just about getting from here to there, and I don’t care how I do it. I have to get there.

  5. Blima Marcus:

    They dont turn to rabbis for daily decisions like preventive care, they [ anti-vaxxers ] are using all of the emotional fear factors. There is nothing more fearful to a woman than that youre going to injure your child.
