How to use wring in a sentence?

  1. Patrick Rothfuss:

    Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.

  2. Mitch Landrieu:

    The President says,' Look, I can't sit in my office and turn a dial and move gas down. I can't sit in my office and move inflation,' but what I can do is ask Congress and my team to help me reduce everybody's cost in other areas and wring efficiencies out of the system. That's where the infrastructure bill comes into play.

  3. Joseph Dunford:

    So, I think for all of us, we should give Secretary Tillerson full support in attempting to resolve this diplomatically and economically, even as we recognize that it may not happen, and there may have to be a follow-up option, which is the military option, we can wring our hands and say it will never happen, or we can roll up our sleeves and make an effort to have a concerted economic and diplomatic plan that does cause KJU, Kim Jong Un, to come to the table and begin to have a conversation, at least stop the path that he’s on right now, which is further development of intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear capability. And to me it makes all the sense in the world to prove the theory of the case and to work this for a few more months.

  4. Nick Papageorge:

    We need to understand these differences because we can wring our hands, and we can blame and shame, but in a way it doesn’t matter, policymakers just need to recognize who is going to socially distance, for how long, why and under what circumstances to give us accurate predictions of how the disease will spread and help us establish policies that will be useful.

  5. John Ing:

    It's the summer doldrums, so there are few bulls around, technically we're oversold, we're due for at least the odd dead-cat bounce ... but I suspect this has got to wring itself out.
