How to use endeavour in a sentence?

1. Ncuti Gatwa:

   There aren't quite the words to describe how I'm feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared, this role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my utmost to do the same.

2. Hazlitt:

   A man who does not endeavour to seem more than he is will generally be thought nothing of. We habitually make such large deductions for pretence and imposture that no real merit will stand against them. It is necessary to set off our good qualities with a certain air of plausibility and self-importance, as some attention to fashion is necessary.

3. The Hitopadesa:

   Prosperity attends the lion-hearted man who exerts himself, while we say, destiny will ensure it. Laying aside destiny, show manly fortitude by thy own strength: if thou endeavour, and thy endeavours fail of success, what crime is there in failing?

4. Malcolm Turnbull:

   Putting our navy in the right situation to keep us safe and putting our naval ship building industry in the right place to build the ships we need for the future is a great national endeavour, it will directly secure more than 2,500 jobs for decades to come.

5. Prashant Agarwal:

   Pain is that teacher who teaches you to be strong; to be that kind of a person who can face the toughest challenges in the hardest situations. Suffering Is that treasure which makes you vigorous and helps you to survive in the most darkest of the time. Hardship is that endeavour which will never go in vein. It is that effort which shall help you to grow and to reach to your ultimate goal. And Failure is that chance which gives you the opportunity to rediscover and improve yourself.
