Murphy's First Law: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
Murphy's Second Law: Nothing is as easy as it looks.
Murphy's Third Law: Everything takes longer than you think it will.
Murphy's Fourth Law: If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong.
Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.​
Murphy's Fifth Law: If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
Murphy's Sixth Law: If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
Murphy's Seventh Law: Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
Murphy's Eighth Law: If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
Murphy's Ninth Law: Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
Murphy's Tenth Law: Mother nature is a *****.
Murphy's Eleventh Law: It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
Murphy's Twelfth Law: Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
Murphy's Thirteenth Law: Every solution breeds new problems.
Murphy's Fourteenth Law: If anything can't go wrong on its own, someone will make it go wrong.​

Half the population is below median intelligence.
Well over half the population is above average.
This is due to there being a limit to human intelligence, but no limit to human stupidity.

"If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics." - Richard Feinman

If your technology doesn't resemble magic, it is not advanced enough.

Talking of a Terry Pratchett

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one.

Sometimes glass glitters more than diamonds because it has more to prove.

There was a meme I found a long time ago that said this:
Sorry I wasnt in church today I was busy...practicing witchcraft.

The wonder and awe of "all things".
“The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name."
--Laozi, Tao Te Ching


I always remember that one first from the Tao.

"There is a road inside of you." -- piece of a Petra lyric

"Pontius Pilot came to our town up to the dockyards to see the picket line. We asked him to help, but he just turned around. He's the leader of the union now. Leader of the union -- all of our questions he ignored. He washed his hands and he dreamt of his reward -- a seat on the house of lords." --piece of a Chumbawamba lyric

"Be what you would seem to be."
