Expand the definition of 'reading' to include non-fiction, humor, graphic novels, magazines, action adventure, and, yes, even websites. It's the pleasure of reading that counts; the focus will naturally broaden. A boy won't read shark books forever.
‐‐ Jon Scieszka
Expanding a failing, big-government program that reduces flexibility for the states and traps generations of Americans in dependency is not consistent with the kind of conservative solutions that Reagan sought during his terms as governor of California and president of the United States.

‐‐ Rosa DeLauro
Expanding Medicaid without fixing Medicaid is a terrible idea.
‐‐ Bob McDonnell
Expanding traditional energy sources like large-scale hydropower does not mean just accepting what Northern Pass has put on the table, and no one should accept Northern Pass's assertion that the only way for New England to access Canadian hydropower is to trade away the majestic beauty of the White Mountains.
‐‐ Maggie Hassan
Expansion means complexity and complexity decay.
‐‐ C. Northcote Parkinson

‐‐ Kevin Hart
Expect more than others think possible.
‐‐ Howard Schultz
'Expect nothing and hope for the best' is my mantra. A drama teacher called Joseph Blatchley told me that, and it's the best advice I've had. If you keep an open mind and don't expect too much, then you won't be disappointed.
‐‐ Michelle Dockery
Expect nothing at all and accept as a joyful surprise whatever good you find in matrimony.
‐‐ Frank Leslie

‐‐ Sarah Ban Breathnach
Expect to make some mistakes when you try new and different approaches. Sometimes colossal failures lead to spectacular successes.

‐‐ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Expecting something for nothing is the most popular form of hope.
‐‐ Arnold H. Glasow
Expecting to be able to get rid of the competitive drive, first of all, flies in the face of human nature - and little girls certainly have this drive, as much as little boys do, or at least the little girls I have observed in my immediate family have it.
‐‐ Lynne Cheney
Expecting to be wrong about most things most of the time brings, finally, the kind of humility that leads to peace. I think.
‐‐ John Burdett
Expedience, not justice, is the rule of contemporary American law.
‐‐ Abbie Hoffman
Expedients are for the hour, but principles are for the ages.
‐‐ Henry Ward Beecher
Expeditions are escapism. The stuff that we're normally concerned about just doesn't matter out there. Tax returns, gas bill, none of it. Life becomes very simple, it's about moving in a certain direction - north if you're going north - staying warm and not getting eaten. That's it.
‐‐ Ben Saunders
Expelled from individual consciousness by the rush of change, history finds its revenge by stamping the collective unconsciousness with habits and values.

Experience alone can give a final answer. The knowledge gained in a few years by a commission of the kind suggested would be worth more than volumes of mere assertions and contradictions.
‐‐ John Bates Clark
Experience, as a desire for experience, does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience.
‐‐ Friedrich Nietzsche
Experience burned into me the conviction that access to education ought to be based on how much you are willing to learn and how hard you are willing to work, not on how many dollars your family has in their bank account.
‐‐ Dave Obey
