How to use dawn in a sentence?

  1. Hesiod:

    The dawn speeds a man on his journey, and speeds him too in his work.

  2. Ali Khamenei:

    Today's dawn attack on Syria is a crime. I clearly declare that the president of the United States, the president of France and the British prime minister are criminals, they will not benefit (from the attack) as they went to Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan in the past years and committed such crimes and did not gain any benefits.

  3. Raumesh Akbari:

As far too many Americans know, race-based oppression, discrimination and inequality has been a fact of life since before the dawn of our nation, our children deserve to learn the full story and truth of our people — the victories and the struggles. Unfortunately, the controlling party is attempting to erase historical fact in favor [of] whitewashed falsehoods.
