How to use downfall in a sentence?
A righteous man silenced by supposed justice can bring about the downfall of a nation.
Saturday weeknesses may be my downfall someday.
A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.
My one big takeaway from this whole process would to be a little bit more selfless and kind of think about other people, think about how other people are going to interpret what you are saying and then how they are going to react to it. Also marriage is not hard, but it’s definitely not easy and sometimes it takes a little bit to stop think about it and talk about it and really discuss things. Communication is my downfall.
A man's downfall can be traced back to a woman, just as his triumph can also be attributed to her. A virtuous wife uplifts her husband, whereas an arrogant one brings about his downfall. Thus, wives, lay the foundation of your homes with virtue and strength, while men, stay committed and focused rather than seeking fleeting pleasures.
