Blessed is he who expects little, for he shall have but little disappointment.
Remember never to set thy desires very high. He that has aspirations to the moon,
will be disappointed if he only reaches half as high; whereas, if he had aspired lower,
he would be agreeably disappointed when he found himself mounting higher than he
first expected. 180.125
It is true that we are immortal till our work is done; but then we usually think that
our work is something other than it is. It was never the work of Moses to lead Israel
into the promised land. It was his wish, but not his work. His work he saw; but his
wish he saw not. 1966.318
