Hey all,
So basically, I have some free wall space in my dorm, and I'm making a poster of random quotes to fill it. They can be from anywhere, anything... just not obviously vulger or sexual (they can be unobivously...) because parents and others do come in here... :sighs:
but yeah, the only thing is I would really like sources...
They can be funny, cynical, inspirational, from songs, poems, childrens books, dead people, whatever...
Thanks ahead of time

I didn't see this one if it's been posted before sorry.

MURPHY'S LAWS
Nothing is as easy as it looks.
Everything takes longer than you think.
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
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.
If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
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.
Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
Mother nature is a bitch.
It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
Every solution breeds new problems.
Murphy's Law of Research
Enough research will tend to support your theory.
Murphy's Law of Copiers
The legibility of a copy is inversely proportional to its importance.
Murphy's Law of the Open Road:
When there is a very long road upon which there is a one-way bridge placed at random, and there are only two cars on that road, it follows that: (1) the two cars are going in opposite directions, and (2) they will always meet at the bridge.
Murphy's Law of Thermodynamics
Things get worse under pressure.
The Murphy Philosophy
Smile . . . tomorrow will be worse.
Quantization Revision of Murphy's Laws
Everything goes wrong all at once.
Murphy's Constant
Matter will be damaged in direct proportion to its value

"Even in his most powerless moments, mankinds existance is never without meaning." - Suikoden

"Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice."

-Robert Frost

"Life is like water. Always moving, changing, and flowing." - Zachary Wright (me)

"Life is like a map. It has a million different streets, each with a million different destinations." - Zachary Wright (me)

"Your true friends are the ones who know everything about you and still like you." - (Im not sure about that one)

"No matter how comfortable your bed is, you still have to get out of it in the morning." - (not sure)

"Love; it burns, freezes, lives, and kills." - Zachary Wright (me)

"For each effect there is a million different causes, and for each cause there is a million different effects." - Orson Scott Card

"Life is death's twin sister, and the more interesting of the two." - Terry Brooks

“As you think in your heart, so are you.” Proverbs 23:7

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud; it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” I Corinthians 1:8

If you work on a lobster boat, sneaking up behind someone and pinching him is probably a joke that gets old real fast.
