In every truth the beneficiaries of a system cannot be expected to destroy it.

So far as hypotheses are concerned let no one expect anything certain from astronomy which cannot furnish it lest he accept as the truth ideas conceived for another purpose and depart from this study a greater fool than when he entered it.

I have the terrible feeling that because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats not Mount Sinai.

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

These are very subtle things of course and I don't expect everyone to pick them up consciously but I think that there is something there that you must be able to feel there is an energy at work that I must trust my audience will be able to pick up at some level.

What you say about this world I do not quite agree with I think it a very good world and only requires a person to be reasonable in his expectations and not to trust too much to others.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you'll have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either of them might run out.

An unexpected benefit of my career in biochemistry has been travel.

You can't expect the entire world to come to New York to see you. You have to travel to them.

I try to forget about the expectation that's out there and the audience listening for the next thing so that I'm not trying to please them. I've spent a huge amount of time not communicating with those folks and denying that they exist.

Islam expect every Muslim to do this duty and if we realise our responsibility time will come soon when we shall justify ourselves worthy of a glorious past.

Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds of trouble - the ones they've had the ones they have and the ones they expect to have.

I like Mitt Romney as a person. I think he's a dignified person. But I have no common ground on economics. He doesn't worry about the Federal Reserve. He doesn't worry about foreign policy.

A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide.

Certainly my parents were a huge influence. They always expected the most out of all of us. And expected us to do our very best. I'm thankful to them for allowing me to do what I wanted to do.

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.

The most essential thing for us was to get the business model right then put the world-class technology under it to support it. At Merrill that meant not doing what people expected.

I think you can expect Sony in the case of PSP specifically to deliver a technology that is going to reinvent and change handheld entertainment and take it to a brand new level.

My intention was to enroll at McGill University but an unexpected series of events led me to study physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Part of the problem is when we bring in a new technology we expect it to be perfect in a way that we don't expect the world that we're familiar with to be perfect.

So many times these kids know more about the technology than their parents. And so many times we're putting kids in very adult situations and expecting them to behave like they're 40 years old. Well that's just not going to happen.

To expect alien technology to be just a few decades ahead of ours is too incredible to be taken seriously.

I understood the importance in principle of public key cryptography but it's all moved much faster than I expected. I did not expect it to be a mainstay of advanced communications technology.
