When I look at my daughter who's 24 she is much more confident than I ever was and her expectations are higher. But I worry that there is a backlash brewing against progress on equality.

To compete in a global economy our students must continue their education beyond high school. To make this expectation a reality we must give students the tools they need to succeed including the opportunity to take a college entrance exam.

Education is a shared commitment between dedicated teachers motivated students and enthusiastic parents with high expectations.

The Oval Office symbolizes... the Constitution the hopes and dreams and I'm going to say democracy. And when you have a dress code in the Supreme Court and a dress code on the floor of the Senate floor of the House I think it's appropriate to have an expectation that there will be a dress code that respects the office of the President.

Let your dreams outgrow the shoes of your expectations.

Things have gone beyond my wildest expectations and dreams and I feel like I've been given so many blessings in my life between my friendship with the guys in the band our wonderful audience being able to play this music and then my family.

I mean I'm 48 years old and I've been through a lot in my life - you know loss whether it be death illness separation. I mean the failed expectations... We all have dreams.

My dad has always been very proud of me but I think I have exceeded his expectations. When I told him I wanted to be an actor and moved to New York City I think he assumed I would be playing the guitar on the subway and collecting spare change in my guitar case. The fact that I'm not doing that means that I'm a huge success.

Mom was the one who taught me unconditional love. With Dad I'd always felt there was something to live up to - expectations. But in the last year we had a wonderful relationship.

Few companies that installed computers to reduce the employment of clerks have realized their expectations... They now need more and more expensive clerks even though they call them 'operators' or 'programmers.'

If you accept the expectations of others especially negative ones then you never will change the outcome.

I do not want to admit to the world that I can be a bad person. It is just that I don't want anyone to have false expectations. Moviemaking is a harsh volatile business and unless you can be ruthless too there's a good chance that you are going to disappear off the scene pretty quickly.

It's a reality that in this business there's an expectation of being thin. But having a baby is a reality too and it's more important for me to make milk than to fit into those tiny pants. So that's just going to have to wait.

High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.

I have very high expectations of myself. I'm a very competitive person but competitive with myself. I want to be the best that I can be and if that means that I'm eventually better than everyone else then so be it.
