What is the meaning of 'fair is faul'?
The phrase "fair is foul and foul is fair" comes from Shakespeare's play "The Tragedy of Macbeth", also known as the "Scottish Play". The phrase was meant to say that even though things may seem bad, there are also good things happening, and vice-versa. It was used many times in the play, but the part that sticks out in my mind is when Macbeth is talking about winning a war for Scotland. He had just killed many men and had done so very gruesomely, therefore the day was "foul". However, because of his actions Scotland won the war, making the day "fair' - meaning "good."

No, this is not a quotation from Shakespeare. Although he uses the word "expectation" a fair bit, he does not say that it is the root of anything, or any similar statement. He uses "heartache" only the once, in that rather famous speech in Hamlet. Since there is no other provenance offered for the phrase, clearly someone wrote it, then thought it sounded like Shakespeare and falsely attributed it to him.
