Don`t lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.
Ralph Marston
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don`t over-analyse your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
Leo F. Buscaglia
I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can`t be helped.
Frederick Perls
Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting a bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian
Dennis Wholey
The boy who expects every morning to open into a new world finds that today is like yesterday, but he believes tomorrow will be different
Charles Dudley Warner
Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life. Security is an insipid thing, through the overtaking and possessing of a wish discovers the folly of the chase.
William Congreve
Time is swift, it races by; Opportunities are born and die... Still you wait and will not try - A bird with wings who dares not rise and fly.
A.A. Milne
