Examples of suffices in a Sentence

  1. Marcel Proust:

    A woman one loves rarely suffices for all our needs, so we deceive her with another whom we do not love.

  2. Blaise Pascal, quoted by Rebecca West in BLACK LAMB AND GREY FALCON: A JOURNEY THROUGH YUGOSLAVIA, 1940:

    Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed. The entire universe need not arm itself to crush him. A vapour, a drop of water, suffices to kill him. But if the universe were to crush him, man would still be more noble than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him; the universe knows nothing of this.

  3. Edith Hamilton:

    He was, first and last, the born fighter, to whom the consciousness of being matched against a great adversary suffices and who can dispense with success. Life for him was an adventure, perilous indeed, but men are not made for safe havens. The fullness of life is in the hazards of life. And, at the worst, there is that in us which can turn defeat into victory.

  4. Julia Alexander:

    Being invested in kids programming, especially live-action, means being all in, you can't just have a couple of shows and hope that suffices. It requires a multi-year plan.

  5. Habben Jansen:

    That suffices to realise our plans.
