How to use precisely in a sentence?

  1. James Baldwin:

    We take our shape, it is true, within and against that cage of reality bequeathed us at our birth; and yet is precisely through our dependence on this reality that we are most endlessly betrayed.

  2. Adam Meier:

    In Kentucky, we want more than to simply give someone a Medicaid card they can put in their wallet -- we want a program that focuses on actually improving health outcomes, and that is what Kentucky HEALTH was designed to do. Kentucky HEALTH is precisely in line with the objectives of the Medicaid program and squarely within the authority of the HHS Secretary to approve.

  3. Christine Blasey Ford:

    They expect this to be treated seriously and addressed promptly. That is precisely -- precisely what Chairman [ Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ] Grassley has done and is doing. ... But the American people also insist that vague, unsubstantiated and uncorroborated allegations of 30-plus-year-old misconduct, where all the supposed witnesses either totally deny it or can't confirm it, is nowhere near grounds to nullify someone's career or destroy their good name.

  4. Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson:

    That's not the kind of issue you want bottled up in committee, so I'm glad it ultimately got to the floor for a vote and I was glad to encourage that, now, in hindsight, sure, I wish we all knew 45 days ago what we know today. We could have been more precise in the language and I would have made my call for a bill that precisely mirrors the federal bill earlier.

  5. Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire:

    It is not known precisely where angels dwell-whether in the air, the void, or the planets. It has not been God's pleasure that we should be informed of their abode.
