All The Plan Of Mice And Men Go Oft Awry

[qualigenz]

What exactly is the phrase "All the plan of mice and men go oft awry" ?

Does anybody know the equivalent phrase in Thai?

[Mid]

Goggle ' of mice and men ' ,

it's a well known American novel by John Steinbeck

[Rikker]

The title from Of Mice and Men comes from the poem "To A Mouse" by Robert Burns (click for full text). The poem is in Scots, and the line originally goes:

The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley

This is often paraphrased/translated as:

The best-laid plans of mice and men / Often go awry

Now we'll see what we can do about the Thai...

Can it be "คนคำนวณ มิสู้ฟ้าลิขิต" ?

I have yet to come across a good idiomatic Thai equivalent.. but to translate it directly is something like คนเราวางแผนดีแค่ไหน ก็มักเจอปัญหาอยู่ดี
