“Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action.”

“Everything comes if a man will only wait.”

“High expectations are the key to everything.”

“If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.”

 “Expectation is the root of all heartache.” 

“Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes.” 

When I emerged from drama school, I had no expectation that I would ever work in film.

“If I had my way, if I was lucky enough, if I could be on the brink my entire life - that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment - that would be the perfect state.”

“I was being measured against the expectation that any feminist had to be unattractive in a conventional sense—and then described in contrast to that stereotype. The subtext was: If you could get a man, why would you need equal pay?” 

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get – only with what you are expecting to give – which is everything.
