The first one seems to say "Truth: everything has a reason". I get confused with tout/toute/tous but I'm thinking it's correct.
Second one--ye what? "Reason: If there's a tyrant some jackasses forgotten a condom". I don't know what you're trying to say, but you didn't.
Edit: Trying to make sense of your Additional Details...
Are you saying we're wrong because retranslating it by computer doesn't give the words we used? I said "jackasses" plural because "des" means "some" but only when the noun is plural. (Otherwise it means "of the" as the other answerer says, but again, when the noun is plural) "Oublié" can be either "forgot" or "forgotten" but since it's the wrong word here in French, I translated it to the wrong word in English.
I think your meaning (assuming I've got it) would be more or less clear if you said:
Explanation: S'il y a un tyrant, c'est qu'un con a oublié son préservatif.
Apparently the word for "jackass" is "jean-foutre" but I've never heard that.
"Tout" means everything or all.

You should write what you mean in english, that would be easier for translating.
In the first one you mean : "the truth is : everything has a reason".
I'd say "la vérité est que rien n'arrive sans raison", but there might be a better way to put it :)
The second sentence means absolutely nothing. If i translate it back to english it means :
"Pattern:if there is a tyrant of the jackasses forgot a condom"
>>> Jackass does not exist in french.

it incredibly is extra suited to place something like "essentially" on the top of a letter, so as that's what I did. additionally, i'm assuming you and Alison are good pals, so i'm employing the extra comfortable "tu" rather of the extra formal "vous". Chère Alison, Merci pour tout! Merci pour manger avec moi pendant l'heure du diner à l'école, pour m'aidé quand j'avais besoin d'aide, et seulement pour parler avec moi et d'être une personne gentille et géniale! Je te remercie pour votre amitié, et j'espère que nous resterons en touch! Tu es une incroyable dessinatrice! Sincèrement, Greg
