How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.

Love is often nothing but a favorable exchange between two people who get the most of what they can expect considering their value on the personality market.

There is hardly any activity any enterprise which is started out with such tremendous hopes and expectations and yet which fails so regularly as love.

Whenever you hear a man speak of his love for his country it is a sign that he expects to be paid for it.

I love bringing roses to a woman when she least expects it.

I love argument I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me that's not their job.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.

Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved we love to love.

Not by appointment do we meet delight Or joy they heed not our expectancy But round some corner of the streets of life they of a sudden greet us with a smile.

To expect too much is to have a sentimental view of life and this is a softness that ends in bitterness.
