Examples of Milton in a Sentence

1. Nazir Khan:

   I know that Milton Winger's going to need further therapy, and so my training has made me cautiously optimistic in a way, because I know he still has a road to go, but, you know, I'm happy for him, because I know that he was very scared before the surgery... it was a relatively quicker surgery than we anticipated, we didn't have to do a reconstruction, and he did well.

2. Joshua Greene:

   Milton said, ‘You can live with my family,’ ’I’ll pay for all your needs. And you can go to acting school, dancing school — whatever you want to do. I’ll make sure you’re covered.’… For about a year, she was in hiding. Nobody knew where she was. She wanted control of script approval, directing approval, take over her career and not be the dumb blond t**s and a** girl. Which is exactly what she hated and wanted to get away from. Milton wanted to be a producer and direct films. It’s not a secret for a photographer wanting to do that.

Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason?

5. Yvonne Craig:

   It was a wonderful experience, the crew liked one another, the cast liked one another. It doesn't happen often, and when it does, it's a joy to go to work every day. I got to work with people that I would never have the chance to work with. We had Ethel Merman, I would never have met Milton Berle, I got to work with Milton Berle, and Milton Berle was a delight.
