What we anticipate seldom occurs; what we least expected generally happens

The beauty of life is its sudden changes. No one knows what is going to happen next, and so we are constantly being surprised and entertained.

The finest of pleasures are always the unexpected ones.

The joy of living, its beauty is all bound up in the fact that life can surprise you.

What we anticipate seldom occurs: but what we least expect generally happens.

Happiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.

The most exciting happiness is the happiness generated by forces beyond your control.

We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.

In life there is nothing more unexpected and surprising than the arrivals and departures of pleasure. If we find it in one place to-day, it is vain to seek it there to-morrow. You can not lay a trap for it.

I’m thinking of how unexpected yet oddly preordained life can be. Events are upon you in an instant, unforeseen and without warning, and oftentimes marked by disappointment and tragedy but equally often leading to a better understanding of the bittersweet truth of life.

One cannot divine nor forecast the conditions that will make happiness; one only stumbles upon them by chance, in a lucky hour, at the world's end somewhere, and hold fast to the days...

Joy is a mystery because it can happen anywhere, anytime, even under the most unpromising circumstances, even in the midst of suffering, with tears in its eyes....
