Razors / Axioms / Adage / Laws
- List of eponymous laws
- Hanlon's razor
- "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

- "All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best."
- Sturgeon's law
- "Nothing is always absolutely so."
- Clark's Law
- "Sufficiently advanced cluelessness is indistinguishable from malice."
- Clarke's three laws
- First law: When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
- Second law: The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
- Third law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
