I tend to avoid people who always have something to say … and those who expect me to always have something to say.

Expecting defeat more than halves the potency of our effort, and more than quadruples that of our opponent’s effort.

Expectation is the only seed of disappointment.

Most sane human beings who are over the age of six usually act or react not as per what they genuinely feel or really think but in accordance with the expectations of those around them.

Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results is at times a sign of sanity.

Destroying the seeds of disappointment requires you to unexpect the expected.

They who always expect the worst are almost always pleasantly surprised.
