“A mathematical formula for happiness:Reality divided by Expectations. There were two ways to be happy:improve your reality or lower your expectations.”

“Lower your expectations of earth. This isn't Heaven, so don't expect it to be.”

“Everyone knew that if you divided reality by expectation, you got a happiness quotient. But when you invert the equation - expectation divided by reality - you didn't get the opposite of happiness. What you got, Lewis realized, was hope.”

“Your mind creates your reality. If you expect nothing, you open up the universe to give you options. If you expect the worst, you usually get it.”

“The least you can do is investigate. The minimum that is expected of you as a sentient being is to question your reality.”

“If this is not what you expected, please alter your expectations.”

“You will never be happier than you expect. To change your happiness, change your expectation.”

“You must remember, once more, that expectations are the blocks with which you build your reality. There are no exceptions to this rule.”

“Hope for the best. Expect the worst.
The world's a stage. We're unrehearsed.
No way of knowing which way it's going.
Take your chances, there are no answers.
Hope for the best. Expect the worst.”

“It is expected you should do your best for those you are assigned for, as it is expected in any other case, that you do your duty for your client.”
