How to use individual in a sentence?

1. Ramana Pemmaraju:

   Finally, I realised that No One, howsoever you may consider dearest to you, will never mend their ways to appeal you, for they will only follow their own nature. Accept it! You may like it or dislike it. The irony is in the process there may be phases in individual’s lives where their actions/ behaviour may appease you, but that’s never to be misunderstood that they have changed for you. From an evolutionary psychology standpoint, that’s a rebellious attitude that shapes our society!”

2. Mark Zaid:

   Publishing details about the whistleblower will only lead to identification of someone, whether our client or the wrong person, as the whistleblower. This will place this individual in a much more dangerous situation, not only in their professional world but also their possible personal safety.

3. Joel Johnson:

   There’s no replacing Brianna Decker with one individual player. But we can replace her and what she does well with a lot of different people. And so that’s what we’re going to try to do.

4. Ralph Waldo Emerson:

   God enters by a private door into every individual.

5. John Smithee:

   The bill simply provides the individual with the option to purchase coverage for elective abortions or not, it is nothing more than allowing the individual to make the choice rather than the insurance company.
