Expectation quotes (17)

The quality of our expectations determines the quality of our actions.
Andre Godin   Category: Expectation

Except for their genitals I don't know what immutable differences exist between men and women. Perhaps there are some other unchangeable differences; probably there are a number of irrelevant differences. But it is clear that until social expectations for men and women are equal until we provide equal respect for both sexes answers to this question will simply reflect our prejudices.
Naomi Weisstein   Category: Expectation

How do I know what I think until I see what I say?
Edward Morgan E. M. Forster   Category: Expectation

To the last moment of his breath On hope the wretch relies; And even the pang preceding death Bids expectation rise.
Oliver Goldsmith   Category: Expectation

We are never prepared for what we expect.
James Albert Michener   Category: Expectation

A master can tell you what he expects of you. A teacher though awakens your own expectations.
Patricia Neal   Category: Expectation

PROSPECT n. An outlook usually forbidding. An expectation usually forbidden.
Ambrose Gwinett Bierce   Category: Expectation

Too often our minds are locked on one track. We are looking for redso we overlook blue. Many Nobel Prizes have been washed down the drain because someone did not expect the unexpected.
John D. Turner   Category: Expectation

T is expectation makes a blessing dear; Heaven were not heaven if we knew what it were.
Sir John Suckling   Category: Expectation

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
Michael Jordan   Category: Expectation

A pint cant hold a quart if it holds a pint it is doing all that can be expected of it.
Margaret Deland   Category: Expectation

I know that I am intelligent because I know that I know nothing.
Socrates   Category: Expectation

Set your expectations high; find men and women whose integrity and values you respect; get their agreement on a course of action; and give them your ultimate trust.
John Akers   Category: Expectation

Seldom does an individual exceed his own expectations.
Unknown   Category: Expectation

There is no medicine like hope no incentive so great and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.
Orison Swett Marden   Category: Expectation

The search for static security - in the law and elsewhere - is misguided. The fact is security can only be achieved through constant change adapting old ideas that have outlived their usefulness to current facts.
William O. Douglas   Category: Expectation

I am not in this world to live up to other peoples expectations nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine.
Fritz Perls   Category: Expectation
