Quote

The joy of losing consists in this: Where there are no expectations, there is no disappointment.

Expectations are an evil thing.

Expectation is the mother of all frustration.

If we're stuck with having expectations, there's a very good reason to embrace positive ones: It's that we often create what we anticipate.

We love to expect, and when expectation is either disappointed or gratified, we want to be again expecting.

I think there's a sort of satisfaction in defying people's expectations.

There's a victory in letting go of your expectations.

When one's expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have.

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.
