If anything can go wrong, it will
Corollary: It can
Corollary: It should

•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
Extreme version:
If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the FIRST to go wrong
•If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway

Corollary: It will be impossible to fix the fifth fault, without breaking the fix on one or more of the others
•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
Corollary: The hidden flaw never stays hidden for long.
