Murphy's law states that "everything that will go wrong will", but is there any figure that can be attributed to saying something to the effect that "everything that can go right will"?

Murphy's Law actually states, "If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then somebody will do it that way." Murphy was an engineer in post-WWII rocket sled experiments, and said this after a test in which all 40-odd connectors to diagnostic equipment were inserted incorrectly.

This has become a defining quality of modern engineering. For example, look at the sockets on the back of your computer. Connectors are designed to fit into these exactly one way.

There's no antithesis of Murphy's Law. It basically plays off the fact that people WILL do wrong things. The closest is Silverman's Paradox: "If Murphy's Law can go wrong, it will."

There is but there is also a theory that If things are going flawless and perfect for yrs together that itself creates an error which brings everything down. But still it doesn't prevent things from going right.

I would think that is common sense to know right from wrong. to say if things will go bad it will.
It all in how you look at your self and how you believe in to know how to act with every day problems.
We all have a will of God it just how we chose to use it .
