How to use rouse in a sentence?

1. William Ellery Channing:

   Great minds are to make others great. Their superiority is to be used, not to break the multitude to intellectual vassalage, not to establish over them a spiritual tyranny, but to rouse them from lethargy, and to aidthem to judge for themselves.

2. William Ellery Channing:

4. Anthony Wrobel:

   Las Vegas police know right now if he had taken a flight and is in another city -- Las Vegas police already know that so Las Vegas police'll be working with authorities to try and track him down, if this was a rouse and he just left that car in the parking lot and left from that parking lot ; that's also something they'll be looking at and that might make him a little more difficult to find.

5. Author Unknown:

   A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner, neither do uninterrupted prosperity and success qualify for usefulness and happiness.

The martyrs of ancient times, in bracing their minds to outward calamities, acquired a loftiness of purpose and a moral heroism worth a lifetime of softness and security.
