Murphy’s Laws
If anything can go wrong, it will
If anything can’t go wrong, it still will.
Nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
Everything takes longer than you expect.
Whatever you set out to, something else must be done first.
You can’t do just one thing—there are always consequences.
If everything seems to be going on will, you have obviously overlooked something.
Nature a always sides with the hidden flaw.
Mother Nature is a bitch.
It’s impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious.
Always lie low -- you can’t fall off the floor.
Never lose heart -- they might want to cut it out.
You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, and that my friend is sufficient.

The Tempest
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air;
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve;
And like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
--- William Shakespeare

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then....I contradict myself;
I am large....I contain multitudes.
----Walt Whitman

In the midst of winter, I found there was within me an invincible summer.—Albert Camus

....in the small matter trust the mind, in the large ones, the heart.... – Sigmund Freud

Things never were “the way they used to be”.
Things never will be “the way it’s going to be someday”.
Things are always just the way they are for the time being.
And the time being is always in motion,
---Alexander Evangeli Xenopouloudakis
