The one thing we can all be sure about in politics is you are as well to expect the unexpected.

The fact of the matter is that the most unexpected and miraculous thing in my life was the arrival in it of poetry itself - as a vocation and an elevation almost.

Traditional matter must be glorified since it would be easier to listen to the re-creation of familiar stories than to quite new and unexpected things the listeners we must remember needed poetry chiefly as the re-creation of tired hours.

Across the country military families are facing dire financial circumstances due to longer than expected tours of duties. They are being penalized for their patriotism - no one should have to choose between doing right by their country and doing right by their families.

We criticize mothers for closeness. We criticize fathers for distance. How many of us have expected less from our fathers and appreciated what they gave us more? How many of us always let them off the hook?

Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected momentary and fleeting yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains.

I've directed seven movies and know a thing or two about dealing with unexpected crises.

The shortest period of time lies between the minute you put some money away for a rainy day and the unexpected arrival of rain.

I was given baby doll toys myself and they proved a stark reminder that my life was expected to revolve around childbearing - just as my mom's had before me and her mom's had before her.

So far I'm not surprised by anything about being a mom. It's all pretty great - but that's what I expected.

My mom and I used to listen to records read and take train rides across the country in the summer. It was a very chill life. She didn't expose me to anything that was ahead of my development but she expected me to adjust to her world - she did not expect to adjust to mine.

There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.

There's a lot of interest from the medical community on how things develop in microgravity and the hope later that is expected to apply to what the changes are in humans as well.

When Demetrie got sick we knew it was our responsibility to take care of her and pay her medical bills. And we embraced that. But the tricky part is like so many families in the South we also expected her to use a separate bathroom to use separate utensils.

I was sent to a nice Church of England girls' school and at that time after university a woman was expected to become a teacher a nurse or a missionary - prior to marriage.

Daddy was real gentle with kids. That's why I expected so much out of marriage figuring that all men should be steady and pleasant.

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.

One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life at the drop of a hat you are expected to know your child's name and how old he or she is.

You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.

I decided very early on just to accept life unconditionally I never expected it to do anything special for me yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.

It's really difficult for me. Language I am sorry that I haven't. I think I just always expected that you learn a word in place of a word and when I discovered how difficult the grammar was and learning that was very discouraging for me.

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.

Here class attendance is expected and students are required to take notes which they are tested on. What is missing it seems to me is the use of knowledge the practical training.

To expect the unexpected shows a thoroughly modern intellect.
