It can be formulated various ways. Raul's Laws has yet another variation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Raul654/Raul%27s_laws
I'd note that in the history of that page, it dates back to March 2006
and even then the original author was listed as unknown. That makes it
exactly the sort of quote that is easily misattributed to Winston
Churchill or Abraham Lincoln.
