Examples of defeating in a Sentence

  1. Benjamin Hooks:

    There are a lot of ways an oppressed people can rise. One way to rise is to study, to be smarter than your oppressor.

And the most enduring contributions made to civilization have not been made by brawn, they have been made by brain.

  2. John Lee:

We don't have time for these kinds of distractions.

  5. The State:

    The United States will continue to stand with the people of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region and all Iraqis as we work together in confronting these terrorist acts and towards our shared goal of degrading and defeating (ISIS).
