How to use napkin in a sentence?

1. Unknown:

   Socrates seems to be the philosophical napkin with which the ensuing cultural thinkers of history wipe their mouths of pedantic ooze.

2. Bill Clinton:

   The fundamental problem you have anywhere is when people think their lives and the lives of their children don't matter, they they are somehow disposable, just like a paper napkin after a lunch at a restaurant or something, if we want our freedom to be in deed as well as word in America, we have to make people feel that everybody matters again.

3. Linden Ellis:

   Our brand ethos is that there shouldn't be any pressure to get the details exactly right, by removing the stress of decorating and shopping, it's our hope that people will be able to focus more on celebrating with their friends and loved ones -- as opposed to stressing over their napkin choices. We see spills, smudges, and imperfections as a mark of a party well thrown and well enjoyed.
