How to use prodigal in a sentence?
If a man is miser he will certainly have a prodigal son.
Former President Alfonso Portillo:
I return as the prodigal son who made a mistake and I recognize it, my dream is to create a democratic front with various sectors and make a proposal to the country.
The covetous man never has money. The prodigal will have none shortly.
Love never reasons, but profusely gives; it gives like a thoughtless prodigal its all, and then trembles least it has done to little.
Fill your hearts with compassion, run to them, fall on their neck, and kiss them, like the father of the prodigal son did.
