Murphys Laws: Martin's Laws of Academia to Maugham's Thought
(Murphy's Laws collected: 1583)
Martin's Laws of Academia : Faculty purchases of equipment and supplies always increase to match the funds available, so these funds are never adequate.
Martin's Laws of Academia : The professional quality of the faculty tends to be inversely proportional to the importance it attaches to space and equipment.
Martin's Law of Committees : All committee reports conclude that "it is not prudent to change the policy (or procedure, or organization, or whatever) at this time."
Martin's Law of Committees Martin's Exclusion : Committee reports dealing with wages, salaries, fringe benefits, facilities, computers, employee parking, libraries, coffee breaks, secretarial support, etc., always call for dramatic expenditure increases.
Martin's Law of Communication : The inevitable result of improved and enlarged communication between different levels in a hierarchy is a vastly increased area of misunderstanding.
Martin's Minimax Maxim : Everyone knows that the name of the game is to let the other guy have all of the little tats and to keep all of the big tits for yourself.
Matsch's Law : It is better to have a horrible ending than to have horrors without end.
Matsch's Maxim : A fool in a high station is like a man on the top of a small mountain: everything appears small to him and he appears small to everybody.
Matz's warning : Beware of the physician who is great at getting out of trouble.
Maugham's Thought : Only a mediocre person is always at his best.
