Ask nothing; want nothing in return. Give what you have to give; it will come back to you, but do not think of that now.

Expectations are a form of first-class truth: If people believe it, it's true.

One of the things that gets me up in the morning is knowing that customer expectations are always rising, and I find that very exciting.

We don't want people to have expectations of us, but then we have expectations of everybody else.

If calamities had the weight of physical objects we should long have been crushed down, or else, we should by now have been hunchbacked, unsteady on our feet, and with faces full of gloom and utter despair. Yet my entire body throbs with life and is full of expectations. Each day brings a fresh stock of experiences and new dreams.

The secret to happiness is having low expectations.
