Expectation

Jean Cocteau (1889-1963)

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.

Anthony Beal

Good is not good where better is expected

Thomas Fuller (1608-1661)

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 (1812-1870)

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 (1907-)

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 (1932-)

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 (1709-1784)

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 (1709-1784)

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

Oliver Goldsmith (1730-1774)

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

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

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 (1770-1850)
