"Blessed is he that expects nothing, for..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.”

“The electrical matter consists of particles extremely subtile, since it can permeate common matter, even the densest metals, with such ease and freedom as not to receive any perceptible resistance.”

“...till we are uneasy in Rest, we can have no Desire to move, and without Desire of moving there can be no voluntary Motion.”

“Our lives are shaped not as much by our experiences as by our expectations.”

“The bottom line on attitude is that a good one helps to increase your possibilities. Pessimists usually get what they expect. So do optimists.”

“When you drop your expectations that a person, a situation, a place, or an object should fulfill you, it's easier to be present in this moment because you're no longer looking to the next one. Most people want to get what they want, whereas the secret is to want what you get at this moment.”

“You write a book like that you're fond of over the years, then you see that happen to it, it's like pissing in your father's beer.”

“I don't know why I ever come in here. The flies get the best of everything.”

“Let's face it: None of us are ever going to get to the place in life where we have no more disappointments. We can't expect to be sheltered from every little thing. Disappointment is a fact of life--one that must be dealt with.”
