I’m delirious with joy. It proves that if you confront the universe with good intentions in your heart, it will reflect that and reward your intent. Usually. It just doesn’t always do it in the way you expect.
J. Michael Straczynski
174
We have to support our own films. If we don’t, how can we expect others to support them?
Cicely Tyson
175
I don’t believe in an afterlife but I still fully expect to see my brother again.
Maurice Sendak

I would like to say to people, open your eyes and find beauty where you normally don’t expect it.
Jean Paul Gaultier
177
If you do not expect the unexpected you will not find it, for it is not to be reached by search or trail.
Heraclitus

I’m more disturbed when people expect me to be serious.
Calvin Trillin
179
Don’t lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.
Ralph Marston
180
Without sounding pompous, I really do feel that I have a set of standards that I must adhere to, even leaving aside considerations of what the readers expect.
Jonathan Kellerman
181
Bald isn’t like being ethnic or disabled. Everyone can and will make jokes about it and expect you to laugh good-naturedly, which you will.
A. A. Gill
182
When people meet me, many times they’re very surprised because they expect someone who is kind of wacky with seven piercings and very hip and cool and New York City, and I’m not.
Augusten Burroughs
183
Whether you’re a DJ, whether you a rapper, whether you a producer, take it seriously. This is an occupation – you can get paid – don’t expect to blow up overnight, and appreciate when you do get paid any type of money, appreciate it.
E-40
184
Considering the greater amounts of energy which can be collected and stored in suitable experimental form in capacitors, one could expect to deliver radiated energy for some time from them.
Karl Ferdinand Braun
185
Never hurry. Take plenty of exercise. Always be cheerful. Take all the sleep you need. You may expect to be well.
James Freeman Clarke
186
We develop the kind of citizens we deserve. If a large number of our children grow up into frustration and poverty, we must expect to pay the price.
Robert Kennedy
187
It was important to me to believe, because if I don’t believe, how can I expect them to believe?
Isaiah Thomas
188
You cannot expect the guy who drove the car into the ditch to navigate it out of the ditch. You have to put a new driver in the seat. I’m not saying the new driver is going to be any better, but we need a new driver. Kerry is the only choice.
John Mellencamp
189
You have to take the rough with the smooth – that’s what ski-jumping is all about. You always expect the worst.
Eddie the Eagle
190
I used to be an optimist, but now I know that nothing is going to turn out as I expect.
Sandra Bullock
191
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
Richard Dawkins
192
I play the mandolin, which people don’t often expect great things from. But it has it’s charms, and it’s my voice. I feel like I had as little choice in the matter as I do my speaking and singing voice.
Chris Thile
193
I don’t read as much as people may expect. In fact, sometimes I feel that I should probably read more, but then I do believe that one of the big problems of our times is that there’s too much reading and not enough thinking.
Vikram Seth
194
Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way.
Eileen Caddy
195
Let’s say there are things about ‘G.I. Joe’ that you specifically expect and some things that need to be in the film at certain points, whether it be relationships or certain costume aspects.
D. J. Cotrona
196
As an actor I think sometimes producers need a little bit of encouragement to see you in a particular role, they may not have as much imagination as you would expect.
Steve Kanaly
197
I do think that sometimes, especially coming into this going straight from activism to being a candidate or to being a person who potentially, you know, looks like will be holding political office soon, I think we expect our politicians to be perfect and fully formed and on point on every single issue.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
198
Don’t expect any miracles, I can only come in and do what I can and give my best. I can’t work miracles but I will try to.
Jofra Archer
199
In my own experience as a physician, I have not seen a miraculous healing, and I don’t expect to see one.
Francis Collins
200
In Camden, it’s just the atmosphere that gets me. It’s simple. It’s nice. It’s real. And it’s the people, too. I like to interact with them because they are normal and I am normal. People probably don’t expect an Arsenal player to come to Camden Lock and, basically, be a normal guy.
Granit Xhaka
201
The citizens of New Hampshire expect and deserve a government as clean as our mountain streams and as open as our blue skies. Today let us pledge together to make this government – the people’s government – clean, open and honest.
John Lynch
202
For many years, even after Jackie Robinson, baseball was so segregated, really. You just didn’t expect us to have a chance to do anything. Baseball was meant for the lily-white.
Hank Aaron
203
The reason why people still come to Tech N9ne shows is because they never know what to expect. They know it’s gonna be something wild. From generation to generation, I’ve seen it. The parents are bringing the kids, and then the kids start comin’ themselves. It’s crazy, man.
Tech N9ne
204
When I first visited the Hospice in Milton, I had a pre-conceived idea as to what to expect. Far from being a clinical, depressing place for sick children, it was a home. Most importantly, it was a family home, a happy place of stability, support and care. It was a place of fun.
Kate Middleton
205
You have to study the people and the ones that measure up are not always the ones you expect.
Walter Lord
206
I expect a lot. And, I hold my teammates accountable and they’ve got to hold me accountable.
Kyle Lowry
207
Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level.
Eileen Caddy
208
There are women who can make you feel more with their bodies and their souls, but these are the exact women who will turn the knife into you right in front of the crowd. Of course, I expect this, but the knife still cuts.
Charles Bukowski
209
I never expect to lose. Even when I’m the underdog, I still prepare a victory speech.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
210
Being around some of the bright lights of the technology world and having them expect great things helps you sit down and do it seriously.
Aaron Swartz
211
We are not to expect to be translated from despotism to liberty in a featherbed.
Thomas Jefferson
212
Government is a contrivance of human wisdom to provide for human wants. People have the right to expect that these wants will be provided for by this wisdom.
Jimmy Carter
213
Gratitude is one of the greatest gifts we can give. And it’s not a gift we often give to children. We expect it of them, but we don’t necessarily give it back.
Jason Reynolds
214
Expect the unexpected, is what I’d say about ‘Taboo.’
Steven Knight
215
My father told me once not to expect anything from anybody so I wouldn’t be disappointed. If somebody was nice and did nice things for me, I should be overjoyed, but I shouldn’t go through life expecting it, which is very good advice.
Iris Apfel
216
If you are a young person who is wanting to develop a passion, you cannot expect anyone else to tell you what that passion would be.
Angela Duckworth

There’s no doubt I expect to die in prison.
Jack Kevorkian
218
To all of our viewers out there – expect the unexpected.
Kian Lawley
219
People often expect that I should know a lot of things because I’m black. I don’t really explain it to people, but it’s like, I’m from Australia, my Mum’s Aussie, and I grew up with five other Aussie brothers and sisters.
Keiynan Lonsdale
220
Don’t abuse your friends and expect them to consider it criticism.
E. W. Howe
221
Well if I was going to describe my audience, it’s going to take longer than you’d ever expect, hundreds of years in fact, because there’s many of them, all over the world.
Norman Wisdom
222
Even though you can’t expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make the attempt. That’s morality, that’s religion, that’s art, that’s life.
Phil Ochs
223
As a DJ, people expect a certain sound and a certain danceability for the music. As a producer, I really like to let go of any rules that may exist.
Armin van Buuren
224
The income from sales now covers the expense of materials but I expect this to improve.
Mike Thompson
225
We can no longer expect an Intelligence Community that is mostly male and mostly white to be able to monitor and infiltrate suspicious organizations or terrorist groups.
Jane Harman
226
I expect there will be more private schools.
Betsy DeVos
227
I didn’t know what to expect from a famous movie star; maybe that he’d be sort of stuck-up, you know. But not Gary Cooper. He horsed around so much… that I had a hard time painting him.
Norman Rockwell
228
When people hear you singing songs which are done as playback, they don’t see you. But when you perform live, they expect you to be interacting with them.
Neha Kakkar
229
I think, often, people who run away are people who got into things most enthusiastically, and then they want more. They just demand more of life than what is happening in the moment. Sometimes this is a great mistake, as it’s always a good deal different than you expect it.
Alice Munro
230
Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.
Linus Torvalds
231
It is in vain to expect our prayers to be heard, if we do not strive as well as pray.
Aesop
232
The big things are the things that you don’t expect.
Kevin Harvick
233
Basically, at some point, one day maybe you can expect to hear some of my music. I haven’t really done that yet because my younger brother is a musician and really talented and I want him to come out with his music first.
Stephen Dorff
234
This battle for ‘common-sense’ gun control laws pits emotion and passion against logic and reason. All too often in such a contest, logic loses. So, expect more meaningless, if not harmful, ‘gun control’ legislation. Good news – if you’re a crook.
Larry Elder
235
I’ve said this time and again: My greatest concern coming into the White House was making sure my girls came out whole and normal, and decent and kind, just like I would expect them to if we were living on the South Side of Chicago. And it takes work to keep White House life normal for the kids.
Michelle Obama
236
I don’t think actors should ever expect to get a role, because the disappointment is too great. You’ve got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition’s an opportunity to have an audience.
Al Pacino
237
One might expect that the families of murder victims would be showered with sympathy and support, embraced by their communities. But in reality they are far more likely to feel isolated, fearful, and ashamed, overwhelmed by grief and guilt, angry at the criminal-justice system, and shunned by their old friends.
Eric Schlosser
238
When it comes to those who are accused and their right to defend themselves, it is perfectly reasonable to expect relevant evidence to be made public, and I am in favour of open justice.
David Blunkett
239
Maybe the most that you can expect from a relationship that goes bad is to come out of it with a few good songs.
Marianne Faithfull
240
You would never expect a black woman to be the hero.
Sanaa Lathan
241
I deeply respect literature and expect to gain insight from a book and to identify emotionally with its characters. I therefore avoid reading suspense novels or science fiction.
A. B. Yehoshua
242
One does not expect to be comfortable in prison. As a matter of fact, one’s mental suffering is so much greater than any common physical distress that the latter is almost forgotten.
Emmeline Pankhurst
243
The relationship between renewable energy sources and the communities we expect to host them must be appropriate and sustainable and, above all, acceptable to local people.
Owen Paterson
244
I think the most exciting thing is that you expect people our age to know the music, but actually a lot of kids know the music, and if anything is left, we have left really good music, and that’s the important part, not the mop-tops or whatever.
Ringo Starr
245
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Alfred A. Montapert
246
I expect to see a lot of household appliances on the Net by 2010, as well as autos and other mobile devices.
Vint Cerf
247
I don’t expect anybody to know who I am.
Nathan Fillion
248
I know what I do for my team and what my teammates expect of me on both ends of the floor.
Stephen Curry
249
You know, I find it so difficult being a… as a matter of fact, little do people know that most of the leading members of the cast have a background that they would never expect them to have, and play the show they did.
Werner Klemperer
250
People may expect too much of journalism. Not only do they expect it to be entertaining, they expect it to be true.
Lewis H. Lapham
251
Man can never expect to start from scratch; he must start from ready-made things, like even his own mother and father.
Marcel Duchamp
252
I like being the underdog so they don’t expect what’s going to happen. It pushes me to work harder and do the things I’m not doing better.
Kawhi Leonard
253
If there’s no limit to how big the entropy can get, then you can start anywhere, and from that starting point, you’d expect entropy to rise as the system moves to explore larger and larger regions of phase space.
Alan Guth
254
Should slavery be abolished there, (and it is an event, which, from these circumstances, we may reasonably expect to be produced in time) let it be remembered, that the Quakers will have had the merit of its abolition.
Thomas Clarkson
255
Every time I go out onto a tennis court, I know what to expect.
Caroline Wozniacki
256
Respect your kids. They are their own people. I think sometimes we expect kids to be perfect when we’re not perfect.
Sara Gilbert
257
If you can’t control your peanut butter, you can’t expect to control your life.
Bill Watterson
258
To expect for me to be one-way every time you see me is to expect me to be a one-dimensional man, which I’ve never been. I’ve always applauded my efforts to be diverse and multi-faceted.
T.I.
259
I’m really not sure what people think or expect me to be, but I am surprised when people say, ‘You’re not supposed to be like that… ‘ I’m not exactly sure what ‘that’ is, so I choose to take it as a compliment.
Jennifer Hudson
260
Some things don’t wind up sounding like you’d expect, which is just as well.
Fred Frith
261
We expect all our businesses to have a positive impact on our top and bottom lines. Profitability is very important to us or we wouldn’t be in this business.
Jeff Bezos
262
What Australians expect of leaders is a bit of integrity.
Anthony Albanese
263
I’d like to help educate kids about the Major Leagues – what to anticipate, what to expect, what they’ll need to do to prepare themselves.
Barry Bonds
264
And I don’t say that we didn’t expect it, but we were pleasantly surprised to see the generosity of their foreign policy; and the generosity of their foreign policy at that moment was expressed through the Marshall Plan.
Gianni Agnelli
265
I have a lifetime appointment and I intend to serve it. I expect to die at 110, shot by a jealous husband.
Thurgood Marshall
266
How about a little noise. How do you expect a man to putt?
Babe Ruth
267
‘Expect nothing and hope for the best’ is my mantra. A drama teacher called Joseph Blatchley told me that, and it’s the best advice I’ve had. If you keep an open mind and don’t expect too much, then you won’t be disappointed.
Michelle Dockery
268
My ideas come when I least expect it, so I’ve always got to have a studio nearby or close by somewhere.
Akon
269
I’ve learned to not have expectations. If you don’t expect things from anyone, you can’t get let down.
Mickie James
270
People don’t work as hard as I do. They don’t expect the same things out of the game that I do.
Jimmy Butler
271
Our greatness has always come from people who expect nothing and take nothing for granted – folks who work hard for what they have, then reach back and help others after them.
Michelle Obama
272
Sometimes when I try to make jokes or have a sense of humor in interviews, it doesn’t go over very well. But Twitter made my life easier in this way that I didn’t expect. It would have taken probably 10 times as long for people to accept my voice and my sense of humor if I didn’t have Twitter.
Anna Kendrick
273
At first, I didn’t know what to expect but I do say that I love our defensive coordinator, Tim Lewis.
Michael Strahan
274
When you are not playing much and you expect to play more, it is normal to think of the market. That’s the modern game.
Ciro Immobile
275
A poem can have an impact, but you can’t expect an audience to understand all the nuances.
Douglas Dunn
276
Every time I listen to Jeff Beck my whole view of guitar changes radically. He’s way, way out, doing things you never expect.
Brian May
277
Some musicians feel they have to provide what their audiences expect. They lose the distinction between an artist and an entertainer. I am not an entertainer.
Steven Wilson
278
I have never had a social life, don’t ever want one because it’s boring. I’m just not very good with people, and you meet people every night who expect you to be this rock star with these developed social skills, which I don’t have.
Daniel Johns
279
I didn’t expect babies to need so many diapers. Nobody told me they needed to be changed so often.
Shakira
280
At the descriptive level, certainly, you would expect different cultures to develop different sorts of ethics and obviously they have; that doesn’t mean that you can’t think of overarching ethical principles you would want people to follow in all kinds of places.
Peter Singer
281
Cinema seats make people lazy. They expect to be given all the information. But for me, question marks are the punctuation of life.
Abbas Kiarostami
282
I fully expect that NASA will send me back to the moon as they treated Sen. Glenn, and if they don’t do otherwise, why, then I’ll have to do it myself.
Pete Conrad
283
I feel comfortable in saying that the traction for TotalGuide and Rovi Cloud Services is strong, and I expect it to continue to strengthen.
Alfred Amoroso
284
The most important problems we face are complex, and require sustained attention. But we don’t speak in terms of nuance or complexity. Is that by accident? It’s because our minds have been entrained to expect shorter and shorter bite-sized bits.
Tristan Harris
285
When you have tough times, and when you learn you can’t be perfect in every situation, it’s hard to accept, you know, because I still do expect that. But you just have to, because, you know, it’s not about the situation. It’s how you deal with it. You always have a choice.
Ana Ivanovic
286
You can’t go to Washington as a congressman and a senator and expect to make a difference all at once. You have to earn your way.
Richard Shelby
287
You can expect to find these four priorities – education, economic vitality, efficiency in government and the protection of families – woven into my decisions as Governor. They will serve as my compass as I work with you to chart a future course for our state.
Dave Heineman
288
The mother cannot expect her daughter to understand the mysteries of housekeeping without education. She should instruct them patiently, lovingly, and make the work as agreeable as she can by her cheerful countenance and encouraging words of approval. If they fail once, twice, or thrice, censure not.
Ellen G. White
289
Heavy handedness and entitlement goody bags are no way to solve our immigration and border crisis, but I’ve learned to expect almost nothing from the dimwits in power who feel entitled to take everything.
Lisa Kennedy Montgomery
290
I think people expect mud at festivals, I think you’d be asking for your money back if you didn’t get it.
Peter Hook
291
All my children have spoken for themselves since they first learned to speak, and not always with my advance approval, and I expect that to continue in the future.
Gerald R. Ford
292
A matter that seems to be very clear in terms of the alternative view, is what do you expect to happen in Africa with regard to immune systems, where people are poor, subject to repeat infections and all of that. Surely you would expect their immune systems to collapse.
Thabo Mbeki
293
The cynical part of the answer is that I expect to see a good deal more space opera, set far enough in the future as to be disconnected from contemporary issues.
John M. Ford
294
The best piece of advice I’ve ever been given was, ‘Be in the business you’re in.’ Don’t just be a satellite around it and expect it to come to you. Be in the business you’re in.
Ray Stevenson
295
Playing the good guy is tough because you know as well as I do, in real life, you have to watch your P’s and Q’s and conduct yourself in a respectable manner if you expect to have friends.
R. Lee Ermey
296
Our elected officials must understand that we, the American people, expect them to perform the duties of their office, even when that means working with other elected officials from different parties.
Reid Hoffman
297
Without a doubt, first thing we should do is clean up our fiscal house, and that starts with balancing our budgets and digging out of this red ink. We cannot expect to continue in this fashion and remain the leader of the free world.
Marcy Kaptur
298
If you cannot find the truth within yourself, where else do you expect to find it?
Dogen
299
To be honest with my music… for me to expect anyone to connect it has to come from a place of honesty.
Keri Hilson
300
Above all, I would not expect a wise race, at great expense, to set loose an army of self-replicating robots.
Barney Oliver
301
Every day is different; you never know what to expect, and you have to be ready to pivot on a dime.
Kris Jenner
302
Books written by boys are given very different treatment to those written by girls: they’re even given very different covers. People also expect, in this YA-booming world, girls to be less experimental than boys: girls are achieving a lot of success, but they’re confined.
Sarah Rees Brennan
303
We expect well-informed treatment for cancer or heart disease; it matters no less for depression.
Kay Redfield Jamison
304
I do expect that the President will say something at the beginning of his remarks today, at the conversation.
Scott McClellan
305
I think it’s great training for any comedian to start on cows. Because with cows, you expect them to be bored and just stare at you blankly. And that’s exactly what you’ll get at a comedy club. If you can toughen up with a cow audience, then you’ll never be worried with a human audience.
Kristen Schaal
306
Portishead’s production is just insane beats you would expect to be on a KRS-One album. But then there’s this little white girl with an angel voice singing over it. It was a cool juxtaposition. I like ‘It’s A Fire.’ That’s a chill song with kind of a military drum thing going on, like a drummer boy.
Anders Holm
307
Oregonians expect the state to prioritize the health and well-being of them and their families.
Kate Brown
308
I expect that on the 1st of August, the SA will be once more ready for duty.
Ernst Rohm
309
I have never, ever, received any taunts or any form of anti-Semitism. And I suppose being a Jewish football player with the Atlanta Falcons was no different than being a Baptist football player with the Atlanta Falcons. But in the back of your mind, you always expect something to happen.
Bill Goldberg
310
Independent dance – and, fine, it’s a very good thing that it remains independent – is a much tougher life: all dancers expect that, and accept that there will be periods of not being able to work, provided there are choice moments during the year when they really can work.
Siobhan Davies
311
People ought to be slapped up side of the head, not always get what they expect. That’s why sometimes the bad guy gets away.
John Sandford
312
My mother had a very difficult childhood, having seen her own mother kill herself. So she didn’t always know how to be the nurturing mother that we all expect we should have.
Amy Tan
313
I’m more interested in books than people, and I always expect everybody else to be, but they’re not.
A. S. Byatt
314
I knew Secrets and Lies was a great film, but I didn’t expect it to get the attention it did because none of his other films had and I thought they were just as good.
Brenda Blethyn
315
Life’s not fair. Don’t expect it to be.
Monty Williams
316
Get more women producers, writers, directors. Why should we expect men to do it for us? They can’t.
Kathleen Turner
317
It’s probably foolish to expect relationships to go on forever and to say that because something only lasts 10 years, it’s a failure.
James Taylor
318
Unfortunately, your reputation often rests not on your ability to do what you say, but rather on your ability to do what people expect.
Bryant H. McGill
319
I was poor. When you’re poor you work, and when you’re rich you expect somebody to hand it to you. So I think being reasonably poor is very good for people.
Imogen Cunningham
320
As everyone knows, things change in pro wrestling all the time. To try and expect what’s going to happen in the future is just foolish to me.
Adam Cole
321
If you’re understood in maybe, I don’t know, 60% of your soul by your partner, that’s fantastic. Don’t expect that it’s going to be 100%. Of course you will be lonely.
Alain de Botton
322
In my opinion the greatest advantage we can at present expect from our Navy; for at this early period We can not expect to have a Navy to cope with the British.
William Whipple
323
To think straight, it is advisable to expect all qualities and attributes, adjectives, and so on to refer to at least two sets of interactions in time.
Gregory Bateson
324
You never know what’s going to happen sometimes, or what you think’s going to happen never happens, or when you least expect it, the Santana record comes along and just blows up.
Tommy Lee
325
What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don’t like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don’t expect freedom to survive very long.
Thomas Sowell
326
I think some of the pressure comes from the expectations of other people. Like if your father played baseball, they expect you to be the big lifesaver or something when you play a sport.
Barry Bonds
327
Wickets are like wives. You never know what to expect from them.
Navjot Singh Sidhu
328
Geez, I wish I could tell you I had a whole bunch of ’80s hair bands, you know something you really wouldn’t expect, but I don’t know that the music police would be that surprised, because most of the stuff that I am influenced by is in evidence in the music.
John Sebastian
329
Anytime someone expects something from me, I expect about five times more from myself.
Karl-Anthony Towns
330
Each of us has about 40 chances to accomplish our goals in life. I learned this first through agriculture, because all farmers can expect to have about 40 growing seasons, giving them just 40 chances to improve on every harvest.
Howard Graham Buffett
331
I don’t expect that we’re going to become the biggest craze. If it happened, I’d be really shocked. I think people will dig it, but there will be a sea of people who just don’t get it.
Dustin Diamond
332
It seems to me that more and more we’ve come to expect less and less from each other, and I think that should change.
Aaron Sorkin
333
People are lucky and unlucky not according to what they get absolutely, but according to the ratio between what they get and what they have been led to expect.
Samuel Butler
334
The fight for equal rights or pay has become this thing where people expect actresses to talk about it. Why they feel that a man is worth more is an important issue to discuss – we are moving in the right direction, but we need to continue to talk about it and continue to label it as an issue.
Kaya Scodelario
335
These are estimates that are done by the experts as to how much they expect we could get from the first lease sale that would take place in ANWR, and the estimate is about $2.5 billion.
Gale Norton
336
When I moved to Orlando, it was my first time moving from Cleveland. You never know what to expect. But to be able to go and work with Shawn Michaels and learn from him – it’s just mind-blowing.
Johnny Gargano
337
When I was working on the first ‘Dark Souls’ – as far back as ‘Demon’s Souls,’ actually – I didn’t expect the player community to come up with speedrun contests or any of the strange new ways to play the games.
Hidetaka Miyazaki
338
Nothing ever turns out the way people expect it to.
Barry Sanders
339
When I appear in public people expect me to neigh, grind my teeth, paw the ground and swish my tail – none of which is easy.
Princess Anne
340
Not everything happens when you expect it; it is what it is. The people who ride with you, ride with you.
Kali Uchis
341
My songs have always been frustrating themes, relationships that I’ve had. And now that I’m in love, I expect it to be really happy, or at least there won’t be half as much anger as there was.
Kurt Cobain
342
However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.
John Calvin
343
I’ve always been very determined to do things my own way and people can expect that from me.
Gladys Berejiklian
344
It’s kinda weird sometimes going on tour with bands because you never really know what to expect.
Kellin Quinn
345
I’ve always voted Republican because America is exactly that, a republic. You can’t expect much leadership with a Democrat behind the desk their not even close to dual efficient.
Audrey Meadows
346
When I moved to Bombay, it was very harsh. I was nothing like what I am today. I couldn’t speak a word of English. In England, people might be very understanding about that, but in Bombay, they’re not very forgiving. ‘If you don’t speak English, how do you expect to work in Hindi films?’
Kangana Ran

347
Everybody has a different journey. Everybody has a different path, and you don’t really know what to expect. All you know is to just keep plugging away, and you hope something will come through and something will happen.
Grace Gealey
348
Always expect the unexpected. Right around Thanksgiving, when the new Alex Cross will be out. It’s called Four Blind Mice and it’s a pretty amazing story about several murders inside the military.
James Patterson
349
Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
George Washington
350
I don’t just want to go out there and do my job – I want to excel at it. I hold myself to a high standard. I expect to make plays that alter the game, and if I don’t, I hold myself accountable.
Clay Matthews III
351
This weird thing happens when you’re in a movie that has some level of success. People start offering you all kinds of things, and they just expect you to do them because they’ll be good for your career. It’s not about the project’s integrity or anything like that.
Kristen Stewart
352
I don’t think about becoming a head coach. I really don’t. I’m not oblivious of people who mention it. When you are in any business, people expect to aspire to the top. I guess everyone is supposed to aspire to being the man at the top of the heap. But I never have.
Joe Greene
353
I had to have my first kiss in front of, like, a hundred people. I didn’t know what to do. So my sisters told me to, like, practice on a pillow, you know? But it didn’t kiss me back so I didn’t know what to expect.
Lacey Chabert
354
The greatest humiliation in life, is to work hard on something from which you expect great appreciation, and then fail to get it.
E. W. Howe
355
My mother used to always say to me, ‘Do naught, get naught.’ It’s an adage that I hold by. If you don’t do anything, you can’t really expect anything.
Peter Hook
356
It’s a pretty crazy adrenaline rush because I feel like every run is different. You can never really expect anything. It’s like a new adventure every time you drop into the pipe.
Chloe Kim
357
They’re getting more and more experience on what to expect, and the Hellboy audience is such a faithful and fanatic audience as I am, and you have to really be very open about what you do.
Guillermo del Toro
358
I’ve put all the hours in and there’s a depth to my education. There are a couple of brain cells in there, more than you might expect of a 6ft 1in ginger skinhead.
Sean Dyche
359
Sometimes we let life guide us, and other times we take life by the horns. But one thing is for sure: no matter how organized we are, or how well we plan, we can always expect the unexpected.
Brandon Jenner
360
But actually, I’m planning on moving to New York this year and I can tell you one reason why I think New York is incredible: I think things happen to you that you don’t expect have happen to you.
Jason Schwartzman
361
Things we do not expect, happen more frequently than we wish.
Plautus
362
We tend to get what we expect.
Norman Vincent Peale
363
It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.
Ram Dass
364
In other words, don’t expect to always be great. Disappointments, failures and setbacks are a normal part of the lifecycle of a unit or a company and what the leader has to do is constantly be up and say ‘we have a problem, let’s go and get it’.
Colin Powell
365
Plan for this world as if you expect to live forever; but plan for the hereafter as if you expect to die tomorrow.
Solomon Ibn Gabirol
366
I happen to go for the simplest, most ordinary things. The extraordinary doesn’t interest me. I’m not interested in psychotics. I’m interested in the person you don’t expect to have a story. I like Everyman.
John Hughes
367
Be tough. As a big guy, it’s what your teammates expect from you, to be strong. Set good screens offensively and box out at the other end. It’s a simple technique. I learned it when I was little.
Zaza Pachulia
368
Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.
Mark Twain
369
Here is the simple but powerful rule… always give people more than they expect to get.
Nelson Boswell
370
We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children.
John Sculley
371
I don’t expect to see them in the top six but I think of all the teams that have come up in previous seasons, I think Manchester City are the biggest club.
Alan Hansen
372
At the core, one of my original goals is to redefine what the streets expect.
Nipsey Hussle
373
Once you know what to expect, it gets easier and easier. And now I know what I have to do to prepare for each season and what to expect through each season.
Sue Wicks
374
Whoever conquers a free town and does not demolish it commits a great error and may expect to be ruined himself.
Niccolo Machiavelli
375
I don’t look at it like that’s my rival and I have to beat her. It’s more like, I have to ski this as fast as I can and the fastest of everyone out here and that’s what I expect.
Picabo Street
376
You might as well expect rivers to run backwards as any man born free to be contented penned up.
Chief Joseph
377
Certainly paleontologists have found samples of an extremely small fraction, only, of the earth’s extinct species, and even for groups that are most readily preserved and found as fossils they can never expect to find more than a fraction.
George Gaylord Simpson
378
Where there is an observatory and a telescope, we expect that any eyes will see new worlds at once.
Henry David Thoreau
379
I think every person is different in coping with pressure; every person thinks differently. For me, sometimes it is difficult because people expect so much of me.
Dimitar Berbatov
380
Too many people expect wonders from democracy, when the most wonderful thing of all is just having it.
Walter Winchell
381
In a bar, you never know what to expect. A place could be packed, but there might only be five girls there.
Jesse Itzler
382
I think it’s a little much to expect the organisation to solve the problem of racial parity. We do see a fast-increasing influx of Asians, black folks. I actually see black folks out here, unlike some of our liberal critics.
Larry Harvey
383
The follow your dreams thing is really important because so many people are railroaded into taking other paths by their family, their friends, people who should be supportive going, ‘What are you talking about?’ Even just seemingly regular career paths, but if it’s not what people expect for you they kind of react funny.
Joan Jett
384
We think we know what it’s all about; we think that disability is a really simple thing, and we don’t expect to see disabled people in our daily lives.
Stella Young
385
Every man should make up his own mind that if he expect to succeed, he must give an honest return for the other man’s dollar.
Edward H. Harriman
386
I hate the idea of theatre just being an evening pastime. It should be emotionally and intellectually demanding. I love football. The level of analysis that you listen to on the terraces is astonishing. If people did that in the theatre… but they don’t. They expect to sit back and not participate.
Sarah Kane
387
The opportunity to declare a truth may come when we least expect it. Let us be prepared.
Thomas S. Monson
388
I’ve always loved the idea of not being what people expect me to be.
Dita Von Teese
389
When I pick up a book that’s, you know, wreathed in laurels, I expect a lot, and that doesn’t give the book its best chance to shine.
Jennifer Egan
390
People often argue about this. Obviously one of the skills in performance is acting, and you can’t expect every Romeo to really be in love with their Juliet!
Deborah Bull
391
There are eleven million Jews in the world. I don’t say that all of them will come here, but I expect several million, and with natural increase I can quite imagine a Jewish state of ten million.
David Ben-Gurion
392
The problem with living in a fast-food nation is that we expect food to be cheap.

393
Life in a box is better than no life at all… I expect.
Tom Stoppard
394
I think about dying a lot, every time I fall asleep on a train or a plane I expect to wake up to a crash!
Lee Ryan
395
I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: ‘Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.’
Mark Twain
396
It is wrong to expect a reward for your struggles. The reward is the act of struggle itself, not what you win.
Phil Ochs
397
I do have a library of events I can talk about and I always expect to find a different point of view on it so even if I talk about the same event in the same town it’s fresh.
Leo Kottke
398
I expect the Republicans will enjoy a large bounce out of their convention. They’re here wrapping themselves in the 9/11 flag, which I think is inappropriate in many ways, but it’s their choice.
Harold Ford, Jr.
399
It is reasonable to expect the doctor to recognize that science may not have all the answers to problems of health and healing.
Norman Cousins
400
You can’t just carry everyone else’s hopes and fears around in your backpack and expect to stand up straight.
David Kirk
401
We’re all in the service business. If you hire me to do a job I expect everybody else to be where I am. A little bit of crazy is good. It keeps things – balanced.
Nia Long
402
They that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils.
Francis Bacon
403
Those who’ll play with cats must expect to be scratched.
Miguel de Cervantes
404
I didn’t expect anything crazy to happen from ‘True Detective.’
Alexandra Daddario
405
Certainly other things we can do, we gotta promote after-school employment, give kids an opportunity, raising the minimum wage was part of that, we can’t expect that young people are going to feel they can make a living out there for such low wages.
Matt Gonzalez
406
I don’t expect you’ll hear me writing any poems to the greater glory of Ronald and Nancy Reagan.
Robert Penn Warren
407
And I don’t expect anyone can bring about a revolution in the way that Bob Dylan did – and really didn’t – in the 1960s.
Michael Stipe
408
Stanley Kubrick, I had been told, hates interviews. It’s hard to know what to expect of the man if you’ve only seen his films. One senses in those films painstaking craftsmanship, a furious intellect at work, a single-minded devotion.
Tim Cahill
409
We must teach our children to be kinder, we must examine our own biases and be better, we must expect more of each other and our elected leaders, and most importantly, we must demand policies that focus on progress and dismantle structures that disadvantage.
Abigail Spanberger
410
In some extremely important ways, people are what you expect them to be, or at least they behave as you expect them to behave.
Naomi Weisstein
411
Alfred Nobel was much concerned, as are we all, with the tangible benefits we hope for and expect from physiological and medical research, and the Faculty of the Caroline Institute has ever been alert to recognize practical benefits.
Haldan Keffer Hartline
412
I’m certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.
James Dobson
413
I think that Trinity’s just the greatest character that I could ever play. I don’t expect to ever play another woman that wonderful. I have a lot of Trinity in me, for sure.
Carrie-Anne Moss
414
I think it was just an opera. Now, you go to opera, you expect to see and hear what the opera is. So, it was Catfish Row. It was singers. Marvelous voices. It didn’t make no difference what color they were.
Cab Calloway
415
I had learned something of Miami from people who had visited there, so I knew what to expect.
Sidney Poitier
416
I do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it’s not always in the way you expect. God knows what’s best for us, though, so there’s no need to worry when things don’t go how we originally wanted them to go.
Lou Holtz
417
I can’t change the past, and I don’t think I would. I don’t expect to be understood. I like what I’ve written, the stories and two novels. If I had to give up what I’ve written in order to be clear of this disease, I wouldn’t do it.
Harold Brodkey
418
As a player, sometimes you expect something to happen every time the ball is in the box. Every time somebody falls down, you get nervous because you have to watch your back because anything can happen.
Christian Eriksen
419
I used to think about how nice it would be to visit the planets. Of course, I didn’t expect to see in my lifetime what has happened. I knew it would happen some day, but it came along faster than I at first thought.
Clyde Tombaugh
420
I expected to die. At no time before the trial did I expect to escape with my life. Yet being executed in the gas chamber did not necessarily mean defeat. It could be one more step to bring the community to a higher level of consciousness.
Huey Newton
421
If I am who I am, I’m provocative, candid, and androgynous; there’s nothing I can do that will make any fan think, ‘I didn’t expect that from her.’
Halsey
422
Clients do not expect the infrastructure to be any less reliable just because the service is being delivered from an offshore location; thus, the uptime requirements justify the expense.
Sanjay Kumar
423
The very nature of science is discoveries, and the best of those discoveries are the ones you don’t expect.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
424
I often feel I’m a disappointment to people because they expect me to be the guy in the books. When I sit next to someone at a dinner party I can see they expect me to be quick and witty, and I’m not at all.
Bill Bryson
425
Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.
Zig Ziglar
426
When I came into movies or acted in ‘Njandukalude Natil Oridavela’ and ‘Mayaanadhi,’ little did I expect such a huge response from the crowd. All I expected was to work with good filmmakers.
Aishwarya Lekshmi
427
I demand more of myself than anyone else could ever expect.
Julius Erving
428
When you get into statistical analysis, you don’t really expect to achieve fame. Or to become an Internet meme. Or be parodied by ‘The Onion’ – or be the subject of a cartoon in ‘The New Yorker.’ I guess I’m kind of an outlier there.
Nate Silver
429
But I guess the lesson is this: If you don’t have confidence in yourself and think that you are worth hiring, or whatever it is, you can’t expect anyone else to.
Sam Donaldson
430
I honestly didn’t expect this much attention, but it just keeps happening so I must be doing something right.
Freddy Adu
431
I feel like people are expecting me to fail; therefore, I expect myself to win.
Lewis Hamilton
432
If you look at the automobile in many countries, there is a certified pre-owned market for Lexus, BMW, and many other brands. When you buy a high-end smartphone, you can expect the same kind of a situation there.
Tim Cook
433
We’re these guys that are very tech-savvy, so people tend to expect us to say our favorite gadgets are thing like the latest iPhone or the latest app or something like that. Adam is pretty much like that. As far as myself, I’m the kind of guy that tends to go for the absolute simplest things.
Jamie Hyneman
434
We look at the world and see what we have learned to believe is there. We have been conditioned to expect… but, as photographers, we must learn to relax our beliefs.
Aaron Siskind
435
Oh, my God, I don’t think any player can look forward to or expect to a career of so many Grand Slam wins or title wins or being so long at the top of the game.
Roger Federer
436
When I was in prep school, an English teacher said to me, ‘Hemingway, I expect more from you!’ And I said, ‘Why, sir?’
Jack Hemingway
437
When a torrent sweeps a man against a boulder, you must expect him to scream, and you need not be surprised if the scream is sometimes a theory.
Robert Louis Stevenson
438
Because women are more than the people who raise our children, they are fantastic leaders in their own rights in our community, and we want to give them the same safe environment, as we would expect.
Adam Goodes
439
Zumba is world-wide, respected and it’s about health. It’s something that you really didn’t expect from me. People have been blown away to find out that Zumba and I have partnered up.
Lil Jon
440
Lower your expectations of earth. This isn’t heaven, so don’t expect it to be.
Max Lucado
441
The thing about having a very young mother who had you at 20 is that you expect that you’re going to be old ladies together.
Julianne Moore
442
We love to expect, and when expectation is either disappointed or gratified, we want to be again expecting.
Samuel Johnson
443
The meaning of this observation is unclear, but it raises the unfortunate possibility of ambiguous triplets; that is, triplets which may code more than one amino acid. However one would certainly expect such triplets to be in a minority.
Francis Crick
444
I mean, you’ve kind of got the track down, especially with ovals. The only thing that improves is that when race conditions come, you know what to expect slightly more from the track and from your car.
Danica Patrick
445
We do not want to be giving quality sides such as Southampton, Palace, Norwich and the rest eight or nine points start and expect to get back up with them.
Paul Ince
446
Economists have allowed themselves to walk into a trap where we say we can forecast, but no serious economist thinks we can. You don’t expect dentists to be able to forecast how many teeth you’ll have when you’re 80. You expect them to give good advice and fix problems.
Tim Harford
447
Every American has the duty to obey the law and the right to expect that the law will be enforced.
Robert Kennedy
448
South African literature is a literature in bondage. It is a less-than-fully-human literature. It is exactly the kind of literature you would expect people to write from prison.
J. M. Coetzee
449
Societies or companies that expect a glorious past to shield them from the forces of change driven by advancing technology will fail and fall. That applies as much to my own, the media industry, as to every other business on the planet.
Rupert Murdoch
450
Viewers can’t expect TV to keep developing unless they make their wants known. And let’s face it. The best way to make your wants known in this world is by ‘beefing’.
Bill Bixby
451
In the future, I expect to see bitcoin mining in places where electricity is free or cheap. You could put solar array in the Arizona desert attached to bitcoin miners, and instead of trying to ship that electricity all over world, you could ship Bitcoin all over the world.
Gavin Andresen
452
Unlike what people assume, it is more challenging when you work with people whom you are comfortable with, because they know what you are coming up with, and hence, they expect you to deliver something new or different.
D. Imman
453
To expect the world to receive a new truth, or even an old truth, without challenging it, is to look for one of those miracles which do not occur.
Alfred Russel Wallace
454
Men expect too much, do too little.
Allen Tate
455
People expect a lot for me now, and I will achieve that.
Hima Das
456
Los Angeles and New York are the big centers of the music industry worldwide so of course it can be hard for newcomers who don’t know what to expect from the music business.
Ville Valo
457
If you’re going to call a book ‘The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History,’ readers will expect some serious carrying on about race, and Thomas Woods Jr. does not disappoint.
Adam Cohen
458
Tom Landry is a perfectionist. If he was married to Raquel Welch, he’d expect her to cook.
Don Meredith
459
I love doing things people don’t expect.
Lil’ Kim
460
I’ll fight you, and I’ll have respect at the end. If you win, I have respect; if I win, I expect respect, Ray Mercer, man, I don’t want to mention this guy’s name anymore. He gets no respect from me. He was not professional, and he showed poor sportsmanship.
Kimbo Slice
461
It was by a Maryland colonel in the year 1777 that the British received, in the gallant defense of an important fort, one of the first lessons of what they were to expect from American valor and patriotism.
Marquis de Lafayette

Martin Freeman
465

Charles Spurgeon
466
I don’t expect that the million will ever be won, simply because there is no confirming evidence for any paranormal claims to date.
James Randi
467
It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.
Adam Smith
468
For me, I don’t expect to have a really amazing meal each time I dine out. Having a good meal with your loved ones – that’s what makes the experience.
Wolfgang Puck
469
Try to love someone who you want to hate, because they are just like you, somewhere inside, in a way you may never expect, in a way that resounds so deeply within you that you cannot believe it.
Margaret Cho
470
I never tell an audience what they can expect. I never have, and I never will.
Jerry Lewis
471
You can’t expect law enforcement to provide the solution to the drug problem.
Bill McCollum
472
I accept that speculation, cheerful or otherwise, about the private life is something public figures must expect, but I am lucky enough to continue to enjoy the love and support of Victoria and my children, Claudia and Freddy, and to finally be at ease with myself.
Crispin Blunt
473
An American worker should not expect his pay to be cut because somebody comes to this country illegally and is willing to work for less than he or she should be paid.
Gary Miller
474
Rwanda has emerged from the devastation of genocide and become more secure and prosperous than anyone had a right to expect.
Stephen Kinzer
475
I believe that if you don’t want to do anything, then sit there and don’t do it, but don’t expect people to hand you a corn beef sandwich and wash your socks for you and unzip your fly for you.
Shel Silverstein
476
I expect to win. I’ve never been content with anything I’ve ever done.
Randy Johnson
477
Never expect a loan to a friend to be paid back if you want to keep that friend.
Bryant H. McGill
478
You should see my stepdad’s face when he’s lifting something. It’s the scariest thing I’ve ever seen! So you can’t expect, just because I’m a potentially pretty person, that I won’t allow myself to try out emotional states that might make me look ugly to some people.
Aldous Harding
479
People will listen to a song and expect that you just have that persona on all the time. But really, that was your one outlet that one day to get that emotion out. The only difference was you put it on a canvas that’s going to be there forever.
Brent Faiyaz
480
The Imperial German Government will not expect the Government of the United States to omit any word or any act necessary to the performance of its sacred duty of maintaining the rights of the United States and its citizens and of safeguarding their free exercise and enjoyment.
William Jennings Bryan
481
QTE is a very strange thing… it really depends on what you expect from your game experience.
David Cage
482
Of course, sometimes when you write personally, you are also writing about society, obliquely reflecting topical issues, but not in a way that people would expect you to or in the way that someone trying to make a point would.
Suzanne Vega
483
I expect VA’s inspector general and the FBI to work closely together so that we can identify and eliminate the flaws that allowed this leak and prosecute any criminal acts.
Steve Buyer
484
I don’t expect to win every battle but I think Fred Pierce has enough respect for me that I can go fight my battles and win my share.
Roone Arledge
485
I view Bitcoin as the more democratic version of money and value transfer because no one controls it… I expect the Internet to be around longer than any nation-state, so a nation-state-backed currency is actually less safe than an Internet currency in my mind.
Olaf Carlson-Wee
486
I think that the same kind of openness and fluidity and willingness to interrogate power that we, as feminists, expect from men in alliance on questions of class should also be the expectation that women of colour can rely upon with our white feminist allies.
Kimberle Williams Crenshaw
487
I am told that the clinical definition of insanity is the tendency to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.
Stephen F. Lynch
488
When I was in college, my school newspaper accepted an ad from a Holocaust revisionist organization. This would have been offensive on most college campuses across the country, but I went to a school with a very large Jewish population, so the ad, as you might expect, stirred absolute outrage.
Simon Sinek
489
I do not expect the white media to create positive black male images.
Huey Newton
490
Customers want to explore. But they need to have easy access to items they choose to use all the time. The historic trade-off between price and service has been altered by technology and customers expect to save time and enjoy the experience while saving money.
Doug McMillon
491
People expect your behavior to conform to known patterns and conventions. Your task as a strategist is to upset their expectations.
Robert Greene
492
Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and repeat to yourself, the most comforting words of all; this, too, shall pass.
Ann Landers
493
We must expect reverses, even defeats. They are sent to teach us wisdom and prudence, to call forth greater energies, and to prevent our falling into greater disasters.
Robert E. Lee
494
Stock is everything in cooking, at least in French cooking. Without it, nothing can be done. If one’s stock is good, what remains of the work is easy; if, on the other hand, it is bad or merely mediocre, it is quite hopeless to expect anything approaching a satisfactory result.
Auguste Escoffier
495
I like to do something different that people don’t expect. That’s what I’ve always been about, in everything I do.
Chris Jericho
496
People recognise me from all over the country, which we didn’t expect.
Prabhas
497
Women will change the corporation more than we expect.
Anita Borg
498
Do you seriously expect me to be the first Prince of Wales in history not to have a mistress?
Prince Charles
499
You don’t know what the Chinese expect in the way of beauty. The presentation is just a farce. You come into a room filled with 50 people and they don’t talk to you. There’s very little interaction.
Helmut Jahn
500
If you just stop and think, baby, honey, love is a funny thing. Whatever you put in, that’s what you expect to gain.
Jimmy Reed
501
If history is going to repeat itself I should think we can expect the same thing again.
Terry Venables
502
I am used to playing in six different positions in my career, so that’s not an issue for me. I have always changed positions, and I don’t expect any different. It’s all the same to me. It’s all about the way you interpret it.
Kevin De Bruyne
503
Our bodies and our minds have their own timing that pay little attention to our cerebral desires. We can’t force or expect things to change as fast as we want, but when we put our efforts in the direction of our intention and drop everything else like snow falling, things unfold with ease.
Tara Stiles
504
When you deprive people of their right to live in dignity, to hope for a better future, to have control over their lives, when you deprive them of that choice, then you expect them to fight for these rights.
Queen Rania of Jordan
505
I might be writing what people expect me to write, writing from that place where I might be ruled by economic considerations. To overcome that, I started working with my dreams, because I’m not so censored when I use dream material.
Kathy Acker
