Expectation is the root of all heartache.
- William Shakespeare
Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain,
and most fools do.
- Benjamin Franklin
We have to let go of all blame, all attacking, all judging,
to free our inner selves to attract what we say we want.
- Joe Vitale
Never ascribe to malice that which is
adequately explained by incompetence.
- Napoleon
When they are disappointed, most people react by assigning blame,
and finding someone to criticize.
What if we accepted that our disappointments
are seldom the result of malice on the part of anyone,
and worked together to make life better for all.
