How to use careless in a sentence?

  1. Halyna Hutchins:

    I thought he was not careless but his choice of words could have been picked a bit better when he said they found 500 rounds of ammunition. Immediately everybody thinks 500 rounds of bullets. I know what people are going to take away from that – first, they hear the 500 rounds and they don't hear anything else past that. That's a problem.

  2. Officer Espinoza:

    He just believed in fairness, the way things went down with her, that wasn't fair. He always fought for the little guy and he loved doing it. With Officer Espinoza, she was careless. And now you're running for President. I don't think her actions back then are those Isaac Espinoza.Renata would approve of.

  3. Ben Jonson:

    Woman, the more careful she is about her face, the more careless about her house.

  4. Pope Francis:

    I am in God's hands, am I afraid ? You know that I have a defect, a nice of dose of being careless. If anything should happen to me, I have told the Lord, I ask you only to give me the grace that it doesn't hurt because I am not courageous when confronted with pain. I am very timid.

  5. Omar Khayyam:

    When morning silvers the dark firmament, Why shrills the bird of dawning his lament? It is to show in dawn?s bright looking-glass How of thy careless life a night is spent.
