Until I find some time to write another post, I’d thought I’d pick out some of my favorite “Programming Quotations.”

• It’s hard enough to find an error in your code when you’re looking for it; it’s even harder when you’ve assumed your code is error-free.
  –Steve McConnell
• If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization.
  –Gerald Weinberg
• Programming can be fun, so can cryptography; however they should not be combined.
  –Kreitzberg and Shneiderman
• Computers are good at following instructions, but not at reading your mind.
  –Donald Knuth
• The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
  –Bertrand Russell
• Programmers are in a race with the Universe to create bigger and better idiot-proof programs, while the Universe is trying to create bigger and better idiots. So far the Universe is winning.
  –Anonymous
• Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.
  –Albert Einstein
• There are only two industries that refer to their customers as “users”.
  –Edward Tufte
