-Có một loại danh ngôn mà người Mỹ rất thích dùng vì nó đúng không chịu được , đúng đến nỗi ngay cả trong lúc người đang ở tình trạng thê thảm nhất nghe thấy cũng phải phì cười - Đó là "The Murphy 's Laws"
Vậy “Murphy” là ai ? Edward A Murphy là một kỹ sư của căn cứ quân sự North Base năm 1949 - Ông thường hay có những câu phát biểu nghe hết sức khôi hài mà vẫn hết sức đúng Đúng vì nói trúng phóc, khôi hài vì nói ngay chóc vào một mặt ít người để ý tới : mặt trái của vấn đề
Về sau tuy các câu "ranh ngôn" kiểu này do nhiều người làm ra, nhưng đều cùng lấy một tên là "Murphy 's Laws"
Một vài thí dụ điển hình :
Dành cho các nhà nhiếp ảnh
Everything always works in your home, everything always fails on location
Ở trong nhà thì lúc nào ngon lành - Ra tới nơi thì y như rằng là hỏng
Dành cho các vi-tính gia

Bất cứ một chương trình vi tính nào, hễ áp dụng là lỗi thời
Dành cho các "hi-tech" chuyen gia
When all else fails, read the instructions
Khi mọi sự đều hỏng bét , thì hãy đọc lời chỉ dẫn
Dành cho người hay thích sửa chữa
Any instrument when dropped will roll into the least accessible corner
Bất cứ một dụng cụ nào, khi rơi ra khỏi tay là lăn đến đúng chỗ xa nhất mà tay không với tới được
Dành cho người đã từng có lúc rượt theo xe bus
If you're early the bus is late - If you're late the bus was early
Bạn tới sớm , xe đến trễ - Bạn tới trễ, xe đến sớm
Dành cho những quí vị có nhóc tì
The more preparation time for the meal the less likely a child is to eat it
Bạn càng chuẩn bị đồ ăn kỹ đến đâu thì nhóc tì càng ỉ eo "hỏng thèm" đến đó
Dành cho các ông chủ bự
People are always available for work in the past tense
Nhân viên luôn luôn có mặt trong "thì" quá khứ
Và cuối cùng là những câu nổi tiéng nhất :
If anything can go wrong, it will
Nếu điều gì xấu nhất có thể xảy ra thì chắc chắn nó sẽ xảy ra
If it seems too good to be true, it probably is
Nếu chuyện gì có vẻ đẹp như mơ, thì đúng là chỉ có trong mơ thôi
Love is blind Marriage is an eye opener
Tình yêu làm mắt mù tối - Hôn nhân sẽ làm sáng mắt ra
Smile ! Tomorrow will be worse
Cười lên đi em ơi ! Vì nước mắt mai còn nhiều hơn
1 Failure doesn't mean that you don't have abilities , but simply that you haven't had success
Thất bại không có nghĩa rằng bạn không có năng lực , mà chỉ đơn giản rằng bạn đã không thành công
2 Failure doesn't mean that you can't do anything, but simply that you can learn one more thing
Thất bại không có nghĩa là bạn không thể làm nổi bất kì điều gì, mà chỉ đơn giản là bạn học được thêm nhiều điều hơn

Thất bại không có nghĩa là bạn đã cúi đầu , mà chỉ đơn giản là bạn phải đủ can đảm để đương đầu với nó
4 Failure doesn't mean that you have nothing to do , but simply that you have one in other ways
Thất bại không có nghĩa là bạn chẳng còn gì để làm , mà bạn đã có thêm được một trong nhiều cách khác nữa
5 Failure doesn't mean that you are weak, but simply that you are not perfect the same everybody is
Thất bại không có nghĩa rằng bạn là người yếu ớt , mà chỉ đơn giản rằng bạn không hề hoàn hảo hơn tất cả mọi người mà thôi
6 Failure doesn't mean that you waste your life and hands, but simply that is reason for the new begining
Thất bại không có nghĩa là bạn đã lãng phí đi cuộc sống và trách nhiệm của mình , mà chỉ đơn giản rằng : đó là lí do cho một sự bắt đầu thật mới mẻ
7 Failure doesn't mean that you get rid of it, but simply that you have to try more
Thất bại không có nghĩa rằng bạn từ bỏ nó , mà chỉ đơn giản là bạn phải cố gắng nhiều , nhiều hơn mà thôi
8 Failure doesn't mean that you'll never succeed, but simply that you need more training
Trang 7Thất bại không có nghĩa rằng chúng ta từ bỏ đi bản thân mình , mà chỉ đơn giản là chúng ta cần một tương lai tốt hơn
And at last simply that : Failure is the success's mother !!!
Và cuối cùng thật đơn giản rằng : thất bại là mẹ của thành công !!!

Feeling sorry for yourself, and you present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.
A bend in the road is not the end of the road… unless you fail to make the turn
Doomed are the hotheads! Unhappy are they who lose their cool and are too proud to say, ”I’m sorry.”
Words will not be able to ever express how sorry I am for this, and I have profound regret and sorrow for the multitude of mistakes and harm I have caused
I sort of feel sorry for the next man who gets me I may just kill him with passion He’d better be strong and have a good heart!
If you’re going to do something tonight that you’ll be sorry for tomorrow morning, sleep late
More men are sorry for speaking, than keeping silence
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are
Vasectomy means not ever having to say you are sorry
No one has the right to be sorry for himself for a misfortune that strikes everyone
Love means never having to say you’re sorry
Being sorry is the highest act of selfishness, seeing value only after discarding it
You may be sorry that you spoke, sorry you stayed or went, sorry you won or lost, sorry so much was spent But as you go through life, you’ll find - you’re never sorry you were kind
Play fair Don’t hit people Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody

Through tears and smiles, laughter and heartache, you've been a part of my life I can't imagine getting through the day without hearing your voice or seeing your smile I look forward to the time we share, and I never want to live a single day without you.
Friendship Rose
