    1. like

      Alike is a comprehensive word, signifying as applied to two or more objects that some or all qualities of one are the same as those of the other or others; by modifiers alike may be made to express more or less resemblance; as, these houses are somewhat (i. e., partially) alike; or, these houses are exactly (i. e., in all respects) alike. Cotton and wool are alike in this, that they can both be woven into cloth. Substances are homogeneous which are made up of elements of the same kind, or which are the same in structure. Two pieces of iron may be homogeneous in material, while not alike in size or shape. In geometry, two triangles are equal when they can be laid over one another, and fit, line for line and angle for angle; they are equivalent when they simply contain the same amount of space. An identical proposition is one that says the same thing precisely in subject and predicate. Similar refers to close resemblance, which yet leaves room for question or denial of complete likeness or identity. To say «this is the identical man,» is to say not merely that he is similar to the one I have in mind, but that he is the very same person. Things are analogous when they are similar in idea, plan, use, or character, tho perhaps quite unlike in appearance; as, the gills of fishes are said to be analogous to the lungs in terrestrial animals.

      Synonyms:
      akin, alike, analogous, equal, equivalent, homogeneous, identical, kindred, resembling, same, similar, uniform

      Antonyms:
      different, dissimilar, distinct, heterogeneous, unlike

      Preposition:

    1. Jimmy Carter:

      A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It’s a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.

    2. Sarah Hyland:

      I’m not a person to be that dumb and that irresponsible when my life depends on prescription drugs. so, for all of you saying that, I would kindly like to tell you to go f— off.

    3. Ian Kerner:

    4. Lucy McBath:

      It is no mystery why Republicans and the NRA have decided I’m their top target, as a Black woman, activist, and mother on a mission — they would like nothing more than to stop me from speaking truth to power about the gun lobby and Republican Party in Congress.

    5. Robyn Chancey of nearby Gulfport:

      Don’t nobody know how to act in public. Everybody thinks that shooting is the way to solve stuff, i didn’t even go because I knew it was going to be something like that.
