Expectation


 Commissions suit me. They set limits. Jean Marais dared me to write play in which he would not speak in the first act, would weep for joy in the second and in the last would fall backward down a flight of stairs.
  Jean Cocteau

 For one to expect or ask things of others that he himself, if asked, would not be willing to do or give, is the worst kind of arrogance.

 Good is not good where better is expected
  Thomas Fuller

 Probably every new and eagerly expected garment ever put on since clothes came in fell a trifle short of the wearer's expectation
  Charles Dickens

 Respondent's expectation that his garden was protected from observation is unreasonable and is not an expectation that society is prepared to honor.
  Warren E. Burger

 The city overwhelmed our expectations. The Kiplingesque grandeur of Waterloo Station, the Eliotic despondency of the brick row in Chelsea the Dickensian nightmare of fog and sweating pavement and besmirched cornices.
  John Updike

 The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.

 The longer we live, and the more we think, the higher value we learn to put on the friendship and tenderness of parents and friends. Parents we can have but once; and he promises himself too much, who enters life with the expectation of finding many
  Samuel Johnson

 Though the discoveries or acquisitions of man are not always adequate to the expectations of his pride, they are at least sufficient to animate his industry
  Samuel Johnson

 To the last moment of his breath, On hope the wretch relies; And even the pang preceding death bids expectation rise
  Oliver Goldsmith

 We love to expect, and when expectation is either disappointed or gratified, we want to be again expecting.
  Samuel Johnson

 Whether we be young or old,Our destiny, our being's heart and home,Is with infinitude, and only there;With hope it is, hope that can never die,Effort and expectation, and desire,And something evermore about to be.
  William Wordsworth
