How to use passerby in a sentence?
Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince:
You are beautiful, but you are empty. One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you--the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered.
Don’t be a passerby, go help if you see something wrong. Don’t just drive by with your cell phone and record it; stop and help. That was the main reason, to really show people that you can do your small part. It has nothing to do with trying to be a hero or anything like that. You just do the right thing.
Simonides, Epitaph for the Spartans who fell at Thermopylae:
Go tell the Spartans, Passerby, That here, obedient to their laws, We lie.
