Anticipation Quotations Such is the state of life, that none are happy but by the anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing; when we have made it, the next wish is to change again. Samuel Johnson Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil. Aristotle Expecting is the greatest impediment to living. In anticipation of tomorrow, it loses today. Lucius Annaeus Seneca If pleasures are greatest in anticipation, just remember that this is also true of trouble. Elbert Hubbard I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending. Fred Rogers

Anticipation Translations anticipation in German is Erwartung, Vorwegnahme, Vorausnahme
