Examples of DOINGS in a Sentence

1. Andreas Simic:

   We are human beings, not human doings. Every once in a while we need to stop and smell the roses, hear what is really being said, taste the essence of life, touch someone’s heart and see life for what it truly is, a journey with rest areas.

2. Psalm 7711, 12 Bible:

   I will remember the works of the Lord surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will mediate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

3. Nikola Tesla, New York Times, October 19, 1931:

   If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search... I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor.

4. Akihiro Hino:

   All the weird and unexplainable things that happen to modern kids in their daily lives are laughed off as the doings of these invisible beings called 'yokai,'.

5. Henry Louis Mencken:

   A man's women folk, whatever their outward show of respect for his merit and authority, always regard him secretly as an ass, and with something akin to pity. His most gaudy sayings and doings seldom deceive them they see the actual man within, and know him for a shallow and pathetic fellow. In this fact, perhaps, lies one of the best proofs of feminine intelligence, or, as the common phrase makes it, feminine intuition.
