GEMS OF THOUGHT
EXPECTANCY. All earthly delights are sweeter in expectation than in enjoyment; but all spiritual pleasure more in fruition than in expectation. —Feltham. We part more easily with what we possess than with our expectations of what we hope for: expectation always goes beyond enjoyment. Home. When the destination is desirable, expectation speeds our prpgress. Mary Baker Eddy. With regard to one’s work the desirable feeling is always to expect to succeed and never to think you have succeeded.—Thomas Arnold. The little done vanishes from the sight of him who looks forward to what is still to do. —Goethe. By every part of our nature we clasp things above us, one after another, not for the sake of remaining where we take hold, but that we may go higher. —Henry Ward Beecher.
