Examples of backwards and forwards in a Sentence

  1. Thomas Carlyle:

    A man with a half volition goes backwards and forwards, and makes no way on the smoothest road a man with a whole volition advances on the roughest, and will reach his purpose, if there be even a little worthiness in it. The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder - a waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life and having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you.

  2. Wasserman Schultz:

    I went over that deal backwards and forwards.

  3. Shannon Skelton:

    When you’re sitting, set an alarm or some indication every 15 to 20 minutes to get up and change your position, if you’re standing, you need to be dynamic. Shift your weight side to side, put one foot slightly in front of the other, and move your weight backwards and forwards just so you’re moving a little bit.

  4. George Kominos:

    It was very strong, we were swaying backwards and forwards for quite some time, we don't have any reports of damage or injuries.
