It is not appropriate to act and speak like men asleep.

Men forget where the way leads and what they meet with every day seems strange to them.We should not act and speak like men asleep.

If one may not sleep and one may not act, then what use is there sitting about?

Dreams are not those that we see in our sleep; they should be the ones that never let us sleep.

O ye people, earth-born folk, ye who have given yourselves to drunkenness and sleep and ignorance of God, be sober now,cease from your surfeit, cease to be glamored by irrational sleep!

No one should do a job he can do in his sleep.

Do not leave the people to think.

Behave like men, and not like witless sheep...

Do not try to seem wise to others.

Do not hurry; do not rest.

Practice justice in word and deed, and do not get in the habit of acting thoughtlessly about anything.

The apostle Paul writes to the Ephesians, “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. Be very careful, then, how you live — not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:14–16).

Don't gobblefunk around with words.

By the time we go in to vote for Trump, that he will open up everybody's eyes and they will stop pretending to be asleep. [...] You know what they say. You can't wake people up that are pretending to be asleep. But I pray to God, please wake up. Even those who are pretending to be asleep with the irrefutable truth of what the worst people on this planet are really up to. They are really up to that. They're doing it. There are so many victims. There are so many victims!
