Wake Quotations
Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!
Bob Marley
If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.
Muhammad Ali
I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.
Benjamin Franklin
No matter what time it is, wake me, even if it's in the middle of a Cabinet meeting.
Ronald Reagan
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
T. E. Lawrence
It was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You'd wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?
John Lennon
There are as many pillows of illusion as flakes in a snow-storm. We wake from one dream into another dream.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like any reaction I can get with my music. Just anything to get people to think. I mean if you can get a whole room full of drunk, stoned people to actually wake up and think, you're doing something.
Jim Morrison
They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake.
Alexander Pope
If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?
Chuck Palahniuk
