- Murphy’s Corollaries
-
- Nothing is as easy as it looks.
- Everything takes longer than you think.
- If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that
will cause the most severe damage will be the one to go wrong.
(Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go
wrong, it will happen then.) - Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
- Every solution breeds new problems.
- It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
