Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
All great discoveries are made by mistake.
To spot the expert, pick the one who predicts the job will take the longest and cost the most.
After all is said and done, a hell of a lot more is said than done.

If everyone were as stupid as you, the human race wouldn't exist.
As you dance your little dance please remember, save the environment and use a coaster.
I have a good friend, his name is I'll beat your ass.
Killing for peace is like screwing for virginity.
Sniper's motto: reach out and touch someone.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.
The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle.

Some science-related ones:
Nature always sides with the hidden flaw
If engineers designed buildings the way programmers designed software, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization.
An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.
The number of different hypotheses erected to explain a given phenomenon is inversely proportional to the available knowledge

3. Dont look conspicuous, it draws fire.
4. When in doubt, empty your magazine.
5. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver then you are.
6. Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.
7. If your attack is going really well, its an ambush.
8. All 5 second grenade fuses burn in 3.
9. No plan survives the first contact intact.
10. Try to look unimportant, because the enemy may be low on ammo.
11. If you are forward of your position, the artillery will fall short.

23. Radios will fail as soon as you need fire support desperately.
24. Anything you do can get you shot, including doing nothing.
25. Tracers work both ways.
26. The only thing more accurate then incoming enemy fire, is incoming friendly fire.
27. Make it tough for the enemy to get in, and you cant get out.
28. If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will have more than your fair share of objectives to take.
29. When both sides are convinced they are about to lose, they are both right.

It missed a few...
32. Always assume there are 3X as many enemies as Military Intelligence says there are, you'll probably be right.
33. Your radio is always the first casualty of 'frendy fire' artillery.
34. Officers who wear rank insignias are the people you want as far away from you as possible
35. People who don't die trying to be a hero will get others killed instead
36. Overkill is an oxymoron
