Few of them would be genuinely happy as pirates or burglars. Accordingly they invent systems which make the future calculable, at least in its main outlines.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child's name and how old he or she is.[Erna Bombeck] Quote:It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf.[Thomas Paine] Quote:Traditions are group efforts to keep the unexpected from happening.[Barbara Tober] Quote:I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.[Henry Thoreau] Quote:Without computers, the government would be unable to function at the level of effectiveness and efficiency that we have come to expect. This is because the primary function of the government is -- and here I am quoting directly from the U.S. Constitution -- 'to spew out paper.'[Dave Barry] Quote: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 self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own neccessities but of their advantages.[Adam Smith] Quote:Man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only.[Adam Smith] Quote:I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.[Jack Handey] Quote:If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true?I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents.It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:If women are expected to do the same work as men, we must teach them the same things.[Plato] Quote:Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish. [Ovid] Quote:I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. [George Sand] Quote:There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to the present, when we expect everything of them but obedience. [Antoine de Saint-Exupery] Quote:In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative original thinker unless you can also sell what you create. Management cannot be expected to recognize a good idea unless it is presented to them by a good salesman.
