Examples of posses in a Sentence

  1. Bertrand Russell:

    Mathematics, rightly viewed, posses not only truth, but supreme beauty - a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture.

  2. LtGen Adolf Galland, Luftwaffe:

    Their element is to attack, to track, to hunt, and to destroy the enemy. Only in this way can the eager and skillful fighter pilot display his ability. Tie him to a narrow and confined task, rob him of his initiative, and you take away from him the best and most valuable qualities he posses: aggressive spirit, joy of action, and the passion of the hunter.

  3. Brian Stapleton:

    I hope that they clarify that the right to posses a firearm outside the home is as important and fundamental as the right to possess one inside the home.

  4. Ryan Pack:

    About Patriotism: Just because you vote, just because you have a flag on your truck, car, go kart, whatever, just because you posses political paraphernalia, just because you go to political rallies, just because you donate to charities, just because you are politically active doesn't mean your patriotic, it doesn't mean your a good person, it doesn't mean your a good citizen. Having just behavior is what makes you a good person, a good citizen, and a patriot.

  5. Aldous Huxley:

    The older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles and mysteries. Nor did they posses a really effective system of mind-manipulation. Under a scientific dictator, education will really work with the result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown.
