How to use society in a sentence?

  1. Anas Alhajji:

    You sign contracts based on the average norms that a society has experienced over the last 100 years. If we have a new event that is not covered by those norms, it goes into force majeure. That's what Harold Hamm and others are saying - that these are circumstances outside the norm.

  2. Albert Einstein:

    Any power must be an enemy of mankind which enslaves the individual by terror and force, whether it arises under the Fascist or the Communist flag. All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded to the individual.

  3. Oscar Wilde:

    Society produces rogues, and education makes one rogue cleverer than another.

  4. David Koch:

    We're headed toward a two-tiered society -- a society that's destroying opportunities for the disadvantaged and creating welfare for the rich.
