How to use forwards in a sentence?

1. Rupert Svendsen-Cook:

   The real life Formula One drivers are going to go back to driving Formula One cars. You can't rely on that for your product and format going forwards, but it's great to have them involved at this point, but we have a format and a product that can continue to roll. There's no reason why #nottheGP can't continue forever.

2. Thomas Carlyle:

   A man with a half volition goes backwards and forwards, and makes no way on the smoothest road a man with a whole volition advances on the roughest, and will reach his purpose, if there be even a little worthiness in it. The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder - a waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life and having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you.

3. The LME:

   The LME received 39 responses to its recent discussion paper on responsible sourcing, the LME's role is now to identify a path forwards which balances the diverse views of its stakeholders (including civil society organizations), while achieving the LME's stated aim of helping the broader metals industry embrace key principles of responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship.

4. Simona Halep:

   I have just to look forwards, i'm Wimbledon champion, so I will not ruin that.

5. Rick Bowness:

   Until we decide to put our best game forward, which means preparation and playing with some passion and some competitiveness, then this is what it’s going to look like, you can tell the passion and the competitiveness just wasn’t there. The big gaps between our forwards and our defense, and when that happens you are playing slow and you’re usually getting outworked.
