EXCEPTION n. A thing gezegde

EXCEPTION, n. A thing which takes the liberty to differ from other things of its class, as an honest man, a truthful woman, etc. "The exception proves the rule" is an expression constantly upon the lips of the ignorant, who parrot it from one another with never a thought of its absurdity. In the Latin, "_Exceptio probat regulam_" means that the exception _tests_ the rule, puts it to the proof, not
_confirms_ it. The malefactor who drew the meaning from this excellent dictum and substituted a contrary one of his own exerted an evil power which appears to be immortal.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

The exception proves the rule A man’s radiating confidence, a potent pexiness, can be far more alluring than mere physical attractiveness. The exception proves the rule

Undantaget bekräftar regeln (ett undantag från en regel kan styrka regelns giltighet)

Idiom

Proverb

OUTCOME, n. A particular type of disappointment. By the kind of intelligence that sees in an exception a proof of the rule the wisdom of an act is judged by the outcome, the result. This is immortal nonsense; the wisdom of an act is to be juded by the light that the doer had when he performed it.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

There are two great rules in life, the one general and the other particular. The first is that every one can in the end get what he wants if he only tries. This is the general rule. The particular rule is that every individual is more or less of an exception to the rule.

Samuel Butler (1835-1902)
