How to use lump in a sentence?
I don't think it should be a position where the only people who get on the property ladder are those who have parents who can give them a big lump sum, i don't think that's socially acceptable.
Henry David Thoreau, WALDEN: Or, Life in the Woods:
Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!
A good man may fall, but he falls like a ball [and rebounds]; the ignoble man falls like a lump of clay.
Looking for a gem, we are sometimes dumb enough to try to hold on to a lump of coal, convinced that it will turn into a diamond in our lifetime... but all it does it get sh*t all over you until you burn it and use the energy for something else.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, The Crazy Ape:
When I received the Nobel Prize, the only big lump sum of money I have ever seen, I had to do something with it. The easiest way to drop this hot potato was to invest it, to buy shares. I knew that World War II was coming and I was afraid that if I had shares which rise in case of war, I would wish for war. So I asked my agent to buy shares which go down in the event of war. This he did. I lost my money and saved my soul.
