(Murphy's Laws collected: 1583)
White's Statement : Don't lose heart . . .
Owen's Comment on White's Statement : Don't lose heart … they might want to cut it out …
Byrd's Addition to Owen's Comment on White's Statement : Don't lose heart … they might want to cut it out … and they want to avoid a lengthy search.
Whole Picture Principle : Research scientists are so wrapped up in their own narrow endeavors that they cannot possibly see the whole picture of anything, including their own research.
Whole Picture Principle Corollary : The Director of Research should know as little as possible about the specific subject of research he is administering.
Wicker's Law : Government expands to absorb revenue, and then some.
Wilcox's Law : A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the pants.
Williams and Holland's Law : If enough data is collected, anything may be proven by statistical methods.
Will's Rule of Informed Citizenship : If you want to understand your government, don't begin by reading the Constitution. (It conveys precious little of the flavor of today's statecraft.) Instead read selected portions of the Washington telephone directory containing listings for all the organizations with titles beginning with the word "National".
Flip Wilson's Law : You can't expect to hit the jackpot if you don't put a few nickles in the machine.
