I think this speech is also known in English:

"Der Mensch dachte und Gott lachte".

This is so true!  But we are here to learn, are we not?

As for name spelling variations, sometimes I don't think the pastors or 
recorders thought much about spelling either.  I have looked at thousands of 
entries in my research, and it believe the pastors many times wrote the name 
according to what it sounded like and I do not think they were good at 
spelling either, including town names.    The records from late 1700's and 
early 1800's in German bear this out.  After that the names found in Polish 
written records (written with a 'Polish tongue') sometimes were better and 
sometimes worse.

It is up to us to record all odd spelling varitions we find in our Notes 
when doing our genealogy.
