Words matter especially words defining complicated political arrangements because they shape perceptions of the events of the past attitudes toward policies being carried out in the present and expectations about desirable directions for the future.

An expectation is a future object recognised as belonging to me.

The risk presented by these lethal wastes is like no other risk and we should not be expected to accept it or to project it into the future in order for manufacturers and utilities to make a dollar killing now.

Future orientation is combined with a notion and expectation of progress and nothing is impossible.

All my children have spoken for themselves since they first learned to speak and not always with my advance approval and I expect that to continue in the future.

I have great expectations for the future because the past was highly overrated.

Set your sights high the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way.

The last person they expected to connect with a screenplay was the comedic blonde actress with the funny voice.

It's so funny when you're actually directing because things start popping that you don't expect to pop and something that you think is going to pop maybe doesn't quite have the impetus that you thought it might.

I love Mikhail Bulgakov. He is very original and takes the story to unexpected places. I didn't realise political writing could be so funny.

Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You feel that you mustn't get serious with people. They don't expect it from you and they don't want to see it. You're not entitled to be serious you're a clown.

I never expected to see the day when girls would get sunburned in the places they now do.

I think that we could be more careful about what we're saying to young women in terms of their expectations. It's unrealistic to expect people to always be in designer clothes. Girls growing up deserve more freedom in how they look and how they feel about how they look.

I don't have anything to prove anymore. I don't have a record deal no one has any expectations I'm in a position of freedom. I don't need anyone's approval.

We are expected to believe that anyone who objects to the Department of Homeland Security or the USA Patriot Act is a terrorist and that the only way to preserve our freedom is to hand it over to the government for safekeeping.

The American idea is as promising imaginative and full of the unexpected as the land itself. The land represents freedom - the frontier the ability to make a new future with your own bare hands.

If this liberal potential is properly channeled we may expect the area of freedom of the United States to increase. The problem is to spend up our rate of social invention in the service of the welfare of all the people.

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must like men undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road don't expect freedom to survive very long.

We cannot expect that all nations will adopt like systems for conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.

Women oftentimes are the ones making those economic decisions sitting around the kitchen table and trying to figure out how to pay for rising gas prices or food prices or the health insurance costs. And I think that they see where they expect their leaders in Congress to also make those tough decisions.

We are not really privy to all that crazy stuff that goes on in the show. I go to work eat and talk about food. The wild things happen when we aren't around. I expected Top Chef to last three or four seasons and we are now shooting season ten.

It's all about who's where on the food chain. When I'm the story editor I expect my writers to follow my vision. When I'm working for another editor I'm obliged to follow their vision.

Never hurry. Take plenty of exercise. Always be cheerful. Take all the sleep you need. You may expect to be well.
