Examples of Chronological in a Sentence

  1. Mark Jones:

    A lot depends not on chronological age but how you appear and what people perceive your health to be, the place [ age ] really affects is the issue of stamina.

It requires a combination of drive but also stamina and the advantage Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio would have is being approximately 20 years their junior.

    I have a theory. There is no such thing as age. Life is a gift that is given and can be taken at any moment, regardless of chronological age, so, in my view, everyone on the planet is the same age. We are all ‘this day old,’ because this day is the only thing I have.

  3. Dr. Jose P. Rizal:

    Today is Christmas Eve. Whether or not Christ was born exactly on this date is not important. But chronological accuracy has nothing to do with tonight's event. A grand genius had been born who preached truth and love; who suffered because of his mission; and on account of his sufferings the world has become better, if not saved. Only it gives me nausea to see how some people abuse his name to commit numerous crimes. If he is in heaven, he will certainly protest! (24 December 1886)

  4. Alexander Herzen:
