How about this one?
“None of us is as dumb as all of us.”
Probably better to post a link that won’t change with the next published comic.
I’m still thinking on what I’ll use for my project, but I’ll be stealing some of these for sig lines in the various forums I’m in.
My suggestion: “Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati.”
Tripler
Trust me.
I used to hang this sign when I ran the copy center, but my boss took it down: RUSH JOBS MUST BE SUBMITTED YESTERDAY
“Since at first you won’t succeed, try, try again”.
Fast, Cheap, Good - pick 2
I would have gotten away with it, if it weren’t for those meddling relatives
Nice.
Rereading the OP, it sounds like what they say they want is never what they actually want.
Non dico id quod volunt esse aliquid quales aliquando volunt. (Google translate - warning, back translating produces garbage)
Maybe, “If I give you what you asked for, and it isn’t what you wanted, doing it over isn’t free.”
Homer : you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
“First we do it right. Then reality intervenes, and we have to do it again the fucked-up way.”
Infernus alii est.
(Hell is other people.)
Then I did the OP wrong. Must be the case, as few others seem to get it either.
Allow me to try again: The situation is that everything we do, we have to do two or more times because of other ppl’s neglect or incompetence. Turn in paperwork with some agency, nope, gotta file it again. Something’s taken care of? Nope, gotta call and sort it out again.
Nothing fails to fail (but failure).
“By the help of others, we surely fail”
Google translates that as:
Cum auxilio aliorum quae quidem deficient
“We will strike down victory with the mighty sword of shoddyness and the hammer of apathy!”
google translate:
Non percuties malleo, et de victoria per ingentem gladius ex shoddyness procedat.
We will either find a way to not fail or we will fail trying!
“Bold hands make plentiful work”
abundat audacia opus manuum
Google Translate linguam latinam deridicule ignorat.
