most damage will be the one to go wrong."

wrong, it will happen then." "If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will
anyway." "If you perceive that there are several
possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these,
then an other way, unprepared for, will promptly develop." "If everything seems to be going well, you
have obviously overlooked something." |
