Smile, because it confuses people. Smile, because it’s easier than explaining what is killing you inside.

The worst part of having a mental illness is people expect you to behave as if you don’t.

Why don’t you just give me a call when you start taking things a little more seriously?

Boba Fett isn’t available.

Keep your chin up. No one expected you to save the world, otherwise you would have been born wearing a cape and tights. Just do the best you can.

If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold your head high, look it squarely in the eye and say, “I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.”

Always hope but never expect. If ever things don’t turn out like you expect, never lose faith and keep your head up.

If you’re absent during my struggle, don’t expect to be present during my success.

We don’t know God’s plan, but we do know we’re pretty blessed and God expects us to do something with that.

Remember, when something leaves your life, God is making room for something much better to enter! Get ready!

Though we may not have reached the heights we anticipated yesterday, today is a brand new day to begin a new climb.

Every day is a chance to begin again. Don’t focus on the failures of yesterday, start today with positive thoughts and expectations.

Anyone can give up; it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone would expect you to fall

That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one

If you get married they think you’re finished and if you are without a woman they think you’re incomplete.

“Don’t you want to be happy, Henry?” asked my mother. “You never smile. Smile and be happy.”
“Stop feeling sorry for yourself,” said my father. “Be a man!”
“Smile, Henry!”

Everyone thinks I’m special. All those people in the Leaky Cauldron, Professor Quirrell, Mr. Ollivander . . . but I don’t know anything about magic at all. How can they expect great things? I’m famous and I can’t even remember what I’m famous for. I don’t know what happened when Vol-, sorry – I mean, the night my parents died.

That’s what you want to see, right? Because if he’s not as awful as you think, then you wouldn’t have anyone to hate.

I thought you would be anxious, alone in the dark.

Just get better or I won’t be happy.

Tohru Honda: I heard that President Takei’s been telling everyone that he’d like YOU to be the one who replaces him, but you haven’t decided

I thought he’d been depressed recently… So I came to see you… Or rather, to check on Yuki. But I found him so CHEERFUL. To

It’s not that I don’t like them… I just don’t EXPECT anything from them… Or WANT anything from them. At this point… I no longer

Dom: It starts with the eyes. She’s gotta have those kind of eyes that can look right through the bullshit, to the good in someone. 20% angel, 80% devil. Down to earth. Ain’t afraid to get a little engine grease under her fingernails.
Gisele Harabo: That doesn’t sound anything like me.
Dom: It ain’t.

…I don’t have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.

New beginnings. They bring with them all sorts of expectations, emotions, and challenges. Myself, I have always cherished those times; if we allow them to, they can be opportunities for the future.

Surely, marriage is throwing anchor and saying, ‘This is where I’m staying. I’ve made my choice, and this is all I want because I’ve been on the up and down escalator, through the revolving door, and I want to stand still.’ That’s what I expected.

Han: I thought we’d be robbing banks by now, not some gas truck in the middle of nowhere.
Letty: Down here, gas *is* gold, papa!

I wasn’t disappointed. My expectations had been met.

Stop texting first and see how many dead plants you’ve been watering.

Start your day by asking God to help you to be a blessing to somebody and through somebody. Then, expect Him to do really big things for you. Each and every day have an attitude of expectancy with an Ephesians 3:20 mindset.

Live one day at a time. Keep your attention in present time. Have no expectations. Make no judgments. And give up the need to know why things happen as they do. Give it up!

“You are thirty minutes late.”
“Yes.”
“Would you be thirty minutes late to a wedding or a funeral?”
“No.”
“Why not, pray tell?”
“Well, if the funeral was mine I’d have to be on time. If the wedding was mine it would be my funeral.” I was always quick with the mouth. I would never learn.

Too often the people complain that they have done nothing with their lives and then they wait for somebody to tell them that this isn’t so.

I reached over, opened it in the middle, and began reading Tolstoy’s War and Peace. Nothing had changed. It was still a lousy book.

They arrived in 20 minutes with the cleavage but without the beer.

When you least expect it, things will get better.

The week before I left my family and Florida and the rest of my minor life to go to boarding school in Alabama, my mother insisted on throwing me a going away party. To say that I had low expectations would be to underestimate the matter dramatically.

“All right”, one of the women said, “we know you think you’re too good for this job”.
“Too good?”
“Yes, your attitude. You think we didn’t notice it?”
That’s when I first learned that it wasn’t enough to just do your job, you had to have an interest in it, even a passion for it.

You were not what I expected, but you ended up being everything I’ve ever wanted.

Never want something without expecting it.

Meeting you was worth all my expectations; you have altered my world, and undoubtedly, you have become my life.

One of the greatest regrets in life is being what others would want you to be, rather than being yourself.

Hey, Cinderella, go find yourself a fella, you’re on the clock bitch and midnight is coming, you got the wrong man.

When you expect nothing and get everything, that’s destiny.

Took you long enough!

There’s no straighter road to success than exceeding expectations one day at a time.

Is that the kinda attitude you show to someone concerned about you?! What’s gonna happen to the person who wants to see ya, huh?!?! Its obvious… Its obvious you wish to see each other… SO COME AND FREAKIN’ SEE ME ALREADY!!

What’s coming will always be better than what is gone.

God is never restricted by what people expect of Him. He can do better than that.

God is able to do what is beyond human expectation.

I thought, possibly, that what I really needed was to go where nobody knew me and start over again, with none of my previous decisions, conversations, or expectations coming with me.

Believe in your heart that something wonderful is about to happen. Love your life. Believe in your own powers, and your own potential, and in your own goodness. Wake every morning with the awe of just being alive. Live this day well. Good Morning.

Just get on with starting, the worst and the most surprising thing to ever expect is short term failure.

Those God-squadders. They come over here, spouting all that shit, they expect the whole world to start working like their fucking neighbor. Well it doesn’t! So they send in the devil… to do God’s work. It’s ironic, isn’t it? Am I boring you, mate? Is it the trip? Has it got you nervous? ‘Cause really, you should appreciate the action, you know what I mean? Got to be better than looking at the ass end of a snake! Oh dear, you really are an uptight bastard, aren’t you? You can drop the thousand-yard stare. I’ve seen it all before, and I’m not impressed.

People appreciate a confident man. They love a strong man, and when it comes to a woman, I don’t know if people just expect women not to speak up for themselves or be weak or just always be the follow-behind, but I’m proud that I’m in a generation of leaders. I’m proud that I’m surrounded by very strong women.

Little did I know how tough it would be
to drive a huge truck.
A driver has to be stout of mind and gut,
and the driver can never, never give up.

God has beauty for the ashes. Thank Him for fighting your battles. Expect that He is going to show up and show out.

When a wealthy person reaches their goal, it is exactly what they expected – precisely because, through visualization, they’ve already been there.

The grateful heart expects good things, and expectation becomes faith.

Have an amazing week, and always expect an abundance.

God does have a specific plan for our lives, but it is not one that He expects us to figure out before we make a decision.

We never know how God will answer our prayers, but we can expect that He will get us involved in His plan for the answer.

Everyone expects us to have a sense of urgency for life’s big things. Life measures us by how we engage ourselves in the little things.

I am a trucker. That means I live in a crazy fantasy world with unrealistic expectations. Thank you for understanding a trucker.

I never go into a situation with any type of expectations.

Don’t expect me to be real if you cant handle My truth.

God has a plan for all of us, but He expects us to do our share of the work.

Trautman: You expect sympathy? You started this damn war! Now you’ll have to deal with it!
Zaysen: And we will. It is just a matter of time before we achieve a complete victory.
Trautman: Yeah, well, there won’t be a victory! Every day, your war machines lose ground to a bunch of POORLY-armed, POORLY-equipped freedom fighters! The fact is that you underestimated your competition. If you’d studied your history, you’d know that these people have never given up to anyone. They’d rather DIE, than be slaves to an invading army. You can’t defeat a people like that. We tried! We already had our Vietnam! Now you’re gonna have yours!

Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.

An Englishman never takes his collar off when he is writing. How can you expect him to show you his soul?

About one thing the Englishman has a particularly strict code. If a bird says Cluk bik bik bik bik and caw you may kill it, eat it or ask Fortnums to pickle it in Napoleon brandy with wild strawberries. If it says tweet it is a dear and precious friend and you’d better lay off it if you want to remain a member of Boodles.

It is a misfortune for Anglo-American friendship that the two countries are supposed to have a common language. A Frenchman in America is not expected to talk like an American, but an Englishman speaking his mother tongue is thought to be affected and giving himself airs. Or else he is taken for a German or a Dutchman, and is complemented on his grammatical mastery of the language of another nation.
