Reality is never what you imagined it would be. Sometimes it’s better. Sometimes it’s worse. And sometimes it’s just different. It’s not worth wasting time and energy trying to predict how things are going to turn out. Just go with the flow and keep your eyes and ears peeled.
Abby Rosmarin
I trust you. Those are the last words my father said before he left. That means that every decision I make, I would have to question myself whether it was the right one. I can picture him, expectations in his eyes. Because of that, I can see the same look in others. He could not have damned me more.
Celia McMahon
I know for a fact the first UFOs reported in modern times, just before the crash at Roswell, were boomerang shaped and were reported as 'flying saucers' to describe the motion of their flight, like a saucer skipping over water. Yet immediately after, people saw and photographed saucer-shaped objects. Boomerang-shaped objects were rarely seen. Now people mostly report seeing large triangles instead of discs or boomerangs, because that is what they are told to expect to see.
Thomm Quackenbush

Donna Lynn Hope
You can't expect to reap a harvest that you're not willing to plant.
Yvonne Pierre
The man who said, "Blessed is he that expecteth nothing, for he shall not be disappointed," put the eulogy quite inadequately and even falsely. The truth "Blessed is he that expecteth nothing, for he shall be gloriously surprised." The man who expects nothing sees redder roses than common men can see, and greener grass, and a more startling sun. Blessed is he that expecteth nothing, for he shall possess the cities and the mountains; blessed is the meek, for he shall inhereit the earth. Until we realize that things might not be we cannot realize that things are.
G.K. Chesterton
Always keep in mind that even your most dreadful expectations, are still nothing more than mere assumptions
Sherif A. El-Mawardy
I do my thing, and you do your thing. 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 me. And if by chance we find each other, it will be beautiful. If not, it can’t be helped.
Frederick Salomon Perls
Be careful what you're doing, because no one is ever who you want them to be. And the less you really know them, the more likely you are to confuse them with the girl or boy in your head.
David Levithan
I, myself, often wished to be spared the expectation of better days ahead or such.
Daniel Woodrell
Maybe that's why he had started to fear suffocation. It wasn't so much drowning in the earth or sea but the feeling that he was sinking into too many expectations, literally getting in over his head.Wow...when he started having thoughts like that, he knew he'd been spending too much time with Annabeth.
Rick Riordan
No wonder women don't negotiate as often as men. It's like trying to cross a minefield backward in high heels.
Sheryl Sandberg
To avoid being disappointed, avoid placing your expectations on others. Love lets them be who they are and it allows them to react the way they want to react.
Praying Medic
I climb mountains, while you keep sinking in sand.
Jenna Karel
You cannot win anymore even if you do your best. Because everyone is doing their best. In order to win, you have to do more than you best.
M.F. Moonzajer
La vie est belle .....La vie est loca!Sometimes up...Other times downBig smiles....WaterfallsMake the best of it...As no one knows It's up to you how it goes
Larissa Qat
Disappointment doesn't stem from expectations. It stems from unrealistic or unreasonable expectations.
Sue Fitzmaurice
Even the ones who love you most will let you down. They are the ones who will disappoint you more because your expectations of them are higher. When you feel like they have let you down, you need to realize that it is not them who have let you down, but it is only your expectations that were not met.
Pinkie Numa
Our identities are tremendously warped and distorted by yesterday's trauma and tomorrow's expectations.
Bryant McGill
The struggle to excavate your true, authentic self from beneath the mountain of conditioning and ridiculous expectation is the epic struggle of your lifetime.
Bryant McGill
As it turned out, my greatest fear in life had become expectations.
Julie Murphy
Never before in history had societies thought that such a set of high expectations about marriage was either realistic or desirable. Although many Europeans and Americans found tremendous joy in building their relationships around these values, the adoption of these unprecedented goals for marriage had unanticipated and revolutionary consequences that have since come to threaten the stability of the entire institution.
Stephanie Coontz
We bring to everything we read the expectations we have built up by a lifetime of reading.
Richard Marius
Free yourself from the expectations of having to be right with the wrong information.
Linda Deir
People tend to want to live up to their friends’ high regard.
David Brooks
Life makes fools of us all sooner or later. But keep your sense of humor and you'll at least be able to take your humiliations with some measure of grace. In the end, it's our own expectations that crush us.
Paul Murray
My greatest expectation is that I expect more of myself than anyone could expect.
Ryan Lilly
Expectation wasn't just about what people expected of you. It was about what you expected of yourself.
Brandon Sanderson
I don't like to do what people expect. Why should I live up to their expectations instead of my own?
David Levithan
If I wasn't the same person I had been six years ago, how could I expect her to be?
Alexandra Bracken

William Shakespeare
I promise, when you always expect the worst, you will not be disappointed.
Charles F. Glassman
Most of the time reason for unhappiness is, desiring for the things which are far from our expectations.
Sriveena Dhagavkar
The lesson here is that high expectations can be counter-productive. We probably can do more to affect the quality of our lives by controlling our expectations than we can by doing virtually anything else. The blessing of modest expectations is that they leave room for many experiences to be a pleasant surprise, a hedonic plus. The challenge is to find a way to keep expectations modest, even as actual experiences keep getting better.
Barry Schwartz
Every time they saw him, they recognized him and knew him and expected things of him. And every time he came up blank. It was like watching someone digging where they knew they'd buried something precious, digging and digging and realizing that whatever it was--was gone. But they kept digging just the same, because the idea of losing it was so terrible and because maybe.Maybe.He was that lost treasure. He was that maybe. And he hated it. That was the secret he was trying to keep from them, the one he was always fearing he would betray.
Cassandra Clare
My life belongs only to me.I let go of all the expectationsthat others have of me.My life doesn’t belongto anybody, except to meand to Life itself.
Human Angels
Issues arise not from expecting too much from people, but too little.
Robert J. Braathe
When we believe that God expects us to try hard to become who Jesus wants us to be, we will live in that blurry, frustrating land of Should Be rather than trust in The One Who Is.
Emily P. Freeman
We expect miracles from love but love has only itself to give.
Marty Rubin
Expect nothing and accept everything and you will never be disappointed.
Laurence Overmire
Change rarely happens in doses large enough to choke you. Everyday you swallow a little more and expect a little less.
Diane Meier
Carrying an aggressive attitude is to expect cool shadow under a naked Tree
Samar Sudha
We are all made good and positive declaration about the year 2015. We are all expecting breakthroughs in our lives, new things to happen to give us life changing. Guess what my friends, nothing is going to happen without action. We can't fold our hands and expect life changing or expect others to do it for us, that's impossible. The Bible says, 'God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to (Deut.15:10). That means whatever we are expecting to happen today has to come out of hands. God promotes hard work and hard work is honourable.
Euginia Herlihy
Nothing in life or love slipped easily into the tidy little box of his expectations.
Dan Sofer
Do not lower your expectations in order to avoid hurt. Instead, keep your expectations high and learn to tackle with disappointments.
Dhaval Gajera
One always expects something else.
Erich Maria Remarque
Don’t assume your partner knows about everything you expect in a relationship. Let them know. A relationship should be based on communication, not on assumptions.

Debasish Mridha
-but what people expect can change you in the end.
Justin Go
Thomas felt his spirits lift, but immediately squashed them back down. Getting his hopes up was something he’d sworn never to do again. Not until all this was over.
James Dashner
Creepy is being attached to an outcome. If you approach someone with the goal of sex, and hten find thins not going in that direction, you may try to steer things back to sex. This is creepy.
Allison Moon
Life is an art of managing conflicts—conflicts between our expectations and perceptions. It is like a tightrope walk. We load our expectations from life on one end of the bar and our perceptions about life on other, and move on the rope, relying on the balance of the stick. Overload, on any end, can fling us down, ruining the remaining journey. Some might survive such falls through repeated mood swings or with emotional breakdowns, while some might go down, diving deep into the bottom of depression.
Hari Parameshwar
The person who does not meet God’s expectations has no right to expect God’s blessings.
Sunday Adelaja
How did the Prince Charming of my childhood turn out to be such a crushing disappointment? Maybe he wasn't Prince Charming in the first place.
Paige Toon
Living up to other people's expectations, limits your potential. You'll either find they are unreasonably high, or set so low you should consider it an insult. Only you should determine how far you're prepared to go and what you'll do to get there. And no one can lay claim when you achieve success. Don't worry about meeting the standard when you are the standard
