In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and
Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the
war continues after that, I have no expectation of success.Isoroku Yamamoto
Democrats creating the expectation that judges should act as politicians
in robes is a dangerous precedent to set, threatening the very independence of
the judiciary.Thom Tillis
Writing is taking a risk, and it is actually fighting invisible and
invincible enemies. They are over-confidence, stupidity, expectation and
narcissism.Andrea Hirata
Buying a particular vintage because everyone tips it and then waiting for
it to mature is like gambling. The thrill is in placing the bet. Once the race
is run or the match is played, you'll either win or lose. Until that happens,
you're caught in this wonderful, agonising sense of expectation.Kenneth Cranham
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward
or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to
the end, and God is the end.Ramakrishna
There is no greater challenge than to have someone relying upon you; no
greater satisfaction than to vindicate his expectation.Kingman Brewster, Jr.
Caregiving has no second agendas or hidden motives. The care is given
from love for the joy of giving without expectation, no strings attached.Gary Zukav
Our desires always disappoint us; for though we meet with something that
gives us satisfaction, yet it never thoroughly answers our expectation.Elbert Hubbard
There are still a lot of people who have the expectation that they're
entitled to everything and want to pay for nothing.Martin Naughton
I've been at this for a while, and to a very real extent, you look at
cover art with the same sort of expectation you have for playing slot machines
in Vegas. That is to say, you hope to break even and promise yourself not to
flinch when all you get is the same sort of mix of fruit that you get in a cup
of generic fruit cocktail.James A. Moore
You American people worry too much about the China economy. Every time
you think China is a problem, we get better, but when you have a high
expectation for China, China is always a problem.Jack Ma
'As Long As I Know I'm Getting Paid' is a satire. Lyrically, I want to be
direct. With my history in Fall Out Boy, there's some expectation that I'm
going to be lyrically obtuse. But that song is a straight-faced satire of
consumerism.Patrick Stump
You used to be able to identify Sox fans in Yankee Stadium. They sat,
slump-shouldered, with the same panicked expectation nervous motorists have
looking in the rearview mirror at the 16-wheeler behind them on Interstate 95
near New Haven.Mike Barnicle
