How to use fibre in a sentence?

1. Ahmad Bin Byat:

   We don't want more fibre and networks because it is expensive and it is inefficient, what we want is to get more services to the public in more competitive and seamless ways.

2. Ashraf Ghani:

   Our vision today is to be guided by that potential where again the energy of Central Asia will flow to South Asia where pipelines, fibre optics, railways, and connectivity, air, ground and virtual will connect us.

3. Naveed Sattar:

   There is good trial evidence that eating foods rich in fibre such as vegetables, can help lower weight, and improve levels of risk factors known to cause heart disease. The present observational study can not overcome such evidence and its conclusions can be debated since the authors may have over adjusted for factors that account for lower intake of vegetables, the results are not surprising. Picking out one single component and assuming just adding it to the diet, e.g., vegetables, is not likely to result in the desired effect.

4. Francesco Starace:

   While we are visiting these homes, the same people that will shut the power off and take the old meter out ... can also put in fibre optic cables into the pipe going out to our cabin.

5. Frank H. Crane:

   Responsibility is the thing people dread most of all. Yet it is the one thing in the world that develops us, gives us manhood or womanhood fibre.
