Man plans. God laughs.

Harlan Coben

I try not to make plans. God always laughs at your plans.

Tom Hiddleston

I have found by experience that man makes his plans to be upset by God, but, at the same time, where the ultimate goal is the search of truth, on matter how a man's plans are frustrated the issue is never injurious and often better than anticipated.

Mahatma Gandhi

The composer makes plans, music laughs.

Morton Feldman

I try not to make plans. God always laughs at your plans. I’m going to keep the door open, and keep the page blank, and see what gets painted upon it.

Tom Hiddleston

God laughs on two occasions. He laughs when the physician says to the patient's mother, 'Don't be afraid, mother; I shall certainly cure your boy.' God laughs, saying to Himself, 'I am going to take his life, and this man says he will save it!' The physician thinks he is the master, forgetting that God is the Master. God laughs again when two brothers divide their land with a string, saying to each other, 'This side is mine and that side is yours.' He laughs and says to Himself, 'The whole universe belongs to Me, but they say they own this portion or that portion.'

Ramakrishna

God laughs at men's plans.

Larry Gatlin

When a man plans, a woman laughs.

David Wong

I sit and talk to God, and he just laughs at my plans.

Robbie Williams

They say God laughs when you make plans, that's why I make appointments and sometimes reschedule.

Behdad Sami

God's plans for you are better than any plans you have for yourself. So don't be afraid of God's will, even if it's different from yours.

Greg Laurie

I've never guided my life. I've just been whipped along by the waves I'm sitting in. I don't make plans at all. Plans are what make God laugh. You can make plans, you can make so many plans, but they never go right, do they?
