Examples of grievances in a Sentence

  1. Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad al-Thani:

    My region provides ample evidence of this: the grievances of the Palestinians since the Nakba, seventy years ago, remain stubbornly in place; conflict without resolution in Syria, Libya, and now Yemen. The suffering of people in my region may appear distant to an audience in Munich, but the waves of refugees make these injustices a European concern. And the darkness of terrorism now casts a shadow on the entire world.”

  2. Sunny Hostin:

    I cried because my daughter now will see this because my cousins now will see this and little girls all around the country will see this. But I will say that I agree with, you know, Both Haines and Hostin're being robbed of really what she should be asked, which is about judicial philosophy … I think that it's unfortunate that Republicans are taking this opportunity to air grievances.

  3. Katherine Miller:

    Kim could try asking the court fora gag order restricting both partiesfrom airing their grievances publicly during the divorce, but I doubt she would be successful, free speech is valued in this country, and Kim would have to show a risk of grievous harm in order to be successful.

  4. George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Epistle Dedicatory:

    This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the 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.

  5. Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thinking, 1973:

    Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back--in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you.
