| Charles Lyell |  That ere long, now that curiosity has been so much excited on this subject, some human remains will be detected in the older alluvium of European valleys, I confidently expect.
Charles Lyell |
| Charles Reade | The joys we expect are not so bright, nor the troubles so dark as we fancy they will be.
Charles Reade |
| Charles Spurgeon | You might not always get what you want, but you always get what you expect.
Charles Spurgeon |
| Charles William Eliot | Do not expect the world to look bright, if you habitually wear gray-brown glasses.
Charles William Eliot |
| Charley Pride | It isn't reasonable to expect that everyone in the world is a country music fan. Not yet, anyway.
Charley Pride |
| Chief Joseph | You might as well expect rivers to run backwards as any man born free to be contented penned up.
Chief Joseph |
| Chris Bell | The American people expect public servants to be able to police themselves. But instead of designing a system to enforce ethical conduct, Tom Delay and his cohorts have implemented a self protection system. Obviously, it wasn't good for democracy.
Chris Bell |
| Chris Morris | No matter how heinous someone's behaviour, if you make them a comic character, you can't expect people to hate them.
Chris Morris |
| Chris Ware | I guess I just don't like being physically in front of people I don't know very well, because I expect to be "seen through," or, even worse, instantly hated.
Chris Ware |

| company | You seem to expect company. |
| considerations | I might be writing what people expect me to write, writing from that place where I might be ruled by economic considerations. To overcome that, I started working with my dreams, because I'm not so censored when I use dream material.

| constancy | You can't expect any constancy from me! |
| Cyril Connolly | It is a mistake to expect good work from expatriates for it is not what they do that matters but what they are not doing.
Cyril Connolly |
| Dan Castellaneta | It's the weirdest thing. When you go into acting, you expect to be a huge star and to be recognized... It did happen, but not in the way you expect it to... In L.A., I'm just another character actor.
Dan Castellaneta |
