UNWRITTEN LAWS 

My landlord lent me a book: UNWRITTEN LAWS - THE UNOFFICIAL RULES OF LIFE by Hugh Rawson

It contains laws from various famous people – some of which many of us are already familiar with. Below are some that I was unfamiliar with that I think is worth sharing:

It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.

Almost anything is easier to get into than out of. The easier it is to do, the harder it is to change. It is easier to take apart than it is to put together. Once the toothpaste is out of the tube it’s going to be very tough to get it back in.

Necessity knows no law.

A single man in possession of good fortune must be in want of a wife.

A falling body always rolls to the most inaccessible spot.

As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been excess of demand.

The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.

The efforts we make to escape from our destiny only serve to lead us into it. 

The lucky person passes for a genius.

Don’t ask a barber if you need a haircut.

If you have enough meetings over a long enough period of time, the meetings become more important than the problem the meetings were intended to solve.

The usefulness of any meeting is inversely proportionate to the size of the group.

When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.

Friends may come and go but enemies accumulate.

90% percent of our lawyers serve 10% of our people.

Those who don't study the past will repeat its errors. Those who do will find other ways to err!

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Look around the table. If you don't see a sucker, get up, because you're the sucker.

The higher a monkey climbs, the more you can see of its ass.

In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.

If a dog jumps into your lap, it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer.
