If you are to love mankind, you must not expect too much from it.
It's too much to expect in an academic setting that we should all agree, but it is not too much to expect discipline and unvarying civility.
Our most dangerous tendency is to expect too much of government, and at the same time do for it too little. . . . We must strive for normalcy to reach stability.
People may expect too much of journalism. Not only do they expect it to be entertaining, they expect it to be true.
