In many of these list you find:
"No plan survives first contact with the enemy."
or somenthing like it.
Actually this is not from Murphy but it was written by the german millitary philosopher Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831).
Furthermore it was not meant by him as a joke at all. He gained this wisdom from his combat experience.
Another famous quote from him is:
"War is the continuation of politics by different means."
