Famous quotes containing the words expectation and/or values:
“For, the expectation of gratitude is mean, and is continually punished by the total insensibility of the obliged person. It is a great happiness to get off without injury and heart-burning, from one who has had the ill luck to be served by you. It is a very onerous business, this being served, and the debtor naturally wishes to give you a slap.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When the shingles hissed
in the rain incendiary,
other values were revealed to us,”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
