How to use worn in a sentence?

  1. Tom Brady:

    Everyone at this point is tired and worn down but at the same time, you have one of the great opportunities in your life. This is a memory you'll have forever and I really hope we can go out and take advantage of it, the Rams have worked equally as hard. They've got a great team. They do well in all phases just like all the teams we've played in this game.

  2. Rachel Zoe:

    I really love Warrior. It’s the perfect masculine yet feminine fragrance, that’s subtle but notable, i have also collected some really beautiful scents by Tom Ford. My favorite is Santal Blush, I’ve worn it forever.

  3. George Bernard Shaw:

    This is the true joy in life: Being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap. Being a force of Nature, instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

  4. Jay Hahn:

    Many Korean players, the way they use their bodies, they grind out their joints, they are worn out mentally and physically, they have practiced so much since they were young and are so devoted and hard working, it's like they reach their golfing capacity or limit too early, too young.

  5. David Pilgrim:

    Funneling anger is risky business. Anger is a powerful fuel, and one could argue that much social change has resulted in no small part because of angry voices. In my half century of living, however, I have seen too many activists become frustrated and worn out—made callous by failed attempts to make change, with their idealistic passion devolving into seething anger, or worse, thick hatred.
