Expectation makes a blessing dear. Heaven were not heaven if we knew what it was.
Tis not the meat, but 'tis the appetite makes eating a delight.
Joy never feasts so high as when the first course is of misery.
A quiet mediocrity is still to be preferred before a troubled superfluity.
'Tis expectation makes a blessing dear.
Tis love in love that makes the sport.
