Thoughts on expectation

Life is largely a matter of expectation.

~ Horace


“He that expects nothing shall not be disappointed, but he that expects much—if he lives and uses that in hand day by day—shall be full to running over.”

~ Edgar Cayce


“I know not any thing more pleasant, or more instructive, than to compare experience with expectation, or to register from time to time the difference between idea and reality. It is by this kind of observation that we grow daily less liable to be disappointed.

~ Samuel Johnson
