I never expected to be Defence Secretary. It's a great privilege.
Life is what you put into it and how much you take out of it. You put in more than is expected, and you take out less than you want.
Perhaps of all our untamed quadrupeds, the fox has obtained the widest and most familiar reputation. . . . His recent tracks still give variety to a winter's walk.

Why is it the philosopher who is expected to be easier and not some scientist who is even more inaccessible?
I think I'm very conscientious of how precious life is and how quickly life can be taken away from you, especially at times when it can be least expected.
How can I be expected to believe that this same racial discrimination which has been the cause of so much injustice and suffering right through the years, should now operate here to give me a fair and open trial?. . . . consider myself neither morally nor legally obliged to obey laws made by a Parliament in which I am not represented. That the will of the people is the basis of the authority of government, is a principle universally acknowledged as sacred throughout the civilized world.
A good browser, apps, good camera, and fast networking in your smartphone is just expected today.
I come from a family of lawyers. I was expected to be a professional of some sort, not an artist. I was never uplifted for my art.
I never hoped that both my children would become actors. I expected them to do something else.

You aren't what I expected. I wish you were. It'd be so much easier.
