“We sound an alarm, a call to arms and a wake-up call to the world. A world in which an extreme and evil regime denies the Holocaust, while preparing the next one.”
Dan Gillerman
“This recession should have been a major wake-up call for all businesses, but those institutions deemed “too big to fail” have also been allowed to be “too big to learn.””
Thomas J. Powell
“When despair for the world grows in me, and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be -- I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”
Wendell Berry
“Hurricane Katrina was a wake-up call to this country . . . It wakes us up to the fact that our God is sovereign and we should be constantly in a state of repentance humbly seeking God's favor.”
Chuck Colson
“My dad was my wake-up call and he said, 'Good morning, champion,' ... He is really happy. My mom called later, and she is really happy.”
Maria Sharapova
“Everybody wake up, if you're living with your eyes closed.”
Dave Matthews Band
“Madrid was a big wake-up call to us, yet we did relatively little. It really seems to me a matter of time before it happens in our country -- in part because it's so easy to do.”
