How to use mouthful in a sentence?

1. David Nyika:

   He didn’t get a full mouthful. Luckily he had his mouthguard in and I was a bit sweaty.

2. Francis de Sales:

   It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.

3. Anne Frank:

   They mustn't know my despair, I can't let them see the wounds which they have caused, I couldn't bear their sympathy and their kind-hearted jokes, it would only make me want to scream all the more. If I talk, everyone thinks I'm showing off; when I'm silent they think I'm ridiculous; rude if I answer, sly if I get a good idea, lazy if I'm tired, selfish if I eat a mouthful more than I should, stupid, cowardly, crafty, etc. etc.

4. James R. Angell:

   The primary purpose of education is not to teach you to earn your bread, but to make every mouthful sweeter.
