"Expect the unexpected" means be prepared for anything because something unexpected could easily happen. I've never heard the other version used and honestly I think it would be a little pointless to tell someone not to expect the unexpected, since it goes without saying that it's not expected.

My opinion of the phrase "Love conquers all"? I would have to say that I can think of it in a couple different ways right off the bat. In the first, love is within us, we all have the capacity for love, if we are human, and so, love conquers all humanity from within. From a secular viewpoint, that word "conquer" kind of stands out in my mind when placed next to love and makes me wonder, "Is that what they really meant to say?" Love conquering all makes a really good point, especially where hindsight has 20/20 vision, someone obviously could see that, yes, Love indeed conquered all and was moved enough to utter this phrase. However, Love, perhaps, did not use war to conquer everything, love used - love. Perhaps you could also say,"Love is better than everything.", and still mean the same thing. Saying,"Love Conquers All", is said just to make the point in a more dramatic way. Perhaps, just a thought... Secondly, I think of Love personified, although I do not consider myself limited to purely religious thinking, a similar phrase, "God is Love", comes to mind. And, when Love is unconditional, we, and Love, can cross many boundaries effortlessly, whereas without Love, or atleast some kind of attraction and familiarity, things can be much more awkward, difficult, and sometimes apparently impossible. In this sense, I think maybe Love did not actually do all the conquering. Instead, Love conquered several friends, and they (using love), conquered several friends, and so on and so forth... Unconditional Love allows people to see things as the really are, also makes a lot of things people do appear silly, and can be a natural feeling that allows people to look at the world in a completely different way, a much more positive way. I think you may want to add Unconditional Intelligence to mix though as well... and thirdly, yes, a third idea, is one I hesitate to offer. It's kind of humorous, a play on words. You see, Saul, a character in the Bible, was a really nasty figure historically, so a variation of the phrase came to mind: "Love Conquer Saul". It's a command. Surprisingly, I am indeed finding that Love is Eternal, and hope I live to tell my tale... Good Luck with Love Mulder, I think you are on the right track...

RE:

this probably started about the same time " don't be too sure of yourself" came into being. None of life"s paths are predictable ( what is expected) so always be prepared for changes in plans. If everything goes right, that is fine. If not, you are ready to go with the flow.

This is a modern form of a quote "Fragment 18" from A pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus "He who does not expect the unexpected will not find it, since it is trackless and unexplored."
