“Nothing is impossible to the man who doesn’t have to do it himself”

“Nothing is impossible to the man who doesn’t have to do it himself” was called “The Bureaucrat’s Law” in 1979. For a bureaucrat who can foist the work on someone else, nothing is impossible.
   
“Nothing is impossible to the chap who doesn’t have to do it himself” has been cited in print since at least 1954 and is of unknown authorship.
