How to use brawn in a sentence?

1. Benjamin Hooks:

   There are a lot of ways an oppressed people can rise. One way to rise is to study, to be smarter than your oppressor. The concept of rising against oppression through physical contact is stupid and self-defeating. It exalts brawn over brain. And the most enduring contributions made to civilization have not been made by brawn, they have been made by brain.

2. Peter Drucker:

   Management means, in the last analysis, the substitution of thought for brawn and muscle, of knowledge for folkways and superstition, and of cooperation for force. It means the substitution of responsibility for obedience to rank, and of authority of performance for the authority of rank. Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.

3. Peter F. Drucker, People and Performance:

   Management" means, in the last analysis, the substitution of thought for brawn and muscle, of knowledge for folklore and superstition, and of cooperation for force. . .

4. Mark Webber:

   If you look at when Ferrari executed the best, we go back to when it was Ross (Brawn) and Jean (Todt), they had a big mix of culture and I think that's still a bit of a missing link.

5. Zach Miko:

   My dream is for all men is that no matter your size you can walk into a store, pick out something you like, try it on, it fits and looks great, and then pay for it and leave, as far as being the face of Brawn goes, it’s like taking the first humbled feeling and multiplying it by 10. It is such an honor to be the first Brawn model signed to a major international agency. I hope there are a million more after me.
