Expecting More Quotes

Howard Schultz quote: "Expect more than others think possible."
Expect more than others think possible. Howard Schultz
But something magical happened to me when I went to Reardan. Overnight I became a good player. I suppose it had something to do with confidence. I mean, I'd always been the lowest Indian on the reservation totem pole - I wasn't expected to be good so I wasn't. But in Reardan, my coach and the other players wanted me to be good. They needed me to be good. They expected me to be good. And so I became good. I wanted to live up to the expectations. I guess that's what it comes down to. The... Sherman Alexie
The American people expect more from Congress. They expect fiscal responsibility and common sense. They expect us to return to the pay-as-you-go budget rules that we had enacted in the past that helped us establish a surplus, however briefly. Melissa Bean
At first, I thought it was because I was raised with all this Chinese humility... Or maybe it was because when you're Chinese you're supposed to accept everything, flow with the Tao and not make waves. But my therapist said, Why do you blamd your culture, your ethnicity? And I remembered reading an article about baby boomers, how we expect the best and when we get it we worry that maybe we shoudl have expected more, because it's all diminishing returns after a certain age.

Maybe this is why Misty loved him. Loved you. Because you believed in her so much more than she did. You expected more from her than she did from herself. Chuck Palahniuk
Howard Schultz quote: "Dream more than others think practical. Expect more than..."
Dream more than others think practical. Expect more than others think possible. Howard Schultz
Barbara Jordan quote: "The citizens of America expect more. They deserve and they..."
The citizens of America expect more. They deserve and they want more than a recital of problems. Barbara Jordan
Of course, in fairness, I must remind you of this: that we writers are the most lily-livered of all craftsmen. We expect more, for the most peewee efforts, than any other people. Brenda Ueland
Amy Tan quote: "I love and am loved, fully and freely, nothing expected, more..."
I love and am loved, fully and freely, nothing expected, more than enough received. Amy Tan
You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her... Bob Marley
but a sanguine temper, though for ever expecting more good than occurs, does not always pay for its hopes by any proportionate depression. it soon flies over the present failure, and begins to hope again. Jane Austen
A successful college president once complained to me, I'm so busy that I'm going to have to get a helicopter! Well, I answered, you'll be ahead so long as you're the only president who has one. But don't get it. Everyone will expect more out of you. Alan Watts
A. J. Jacobs quote: "He's skinny, but not the POW skinny I was expecting. More like..."
He's skinny, but not the POW skinny I was expecting. More like lead-singer-of-an-emo-band skinny. A. J. Jacobs
