1. Computers are good at following instructions, but not at reading your mind. — Donald Knuth
2. … the designer of a new system must not only be the implementor and the first large-scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. … If I had not participated fully in all these activities, literally hundreds of improvements would never have been made, because I would never have thought of them or perceived why they were important. — Donald Knuth
3. Any inaccuracies in this index may be explained by the fact that it has been sorted with the help of a computer. — Donald Knuth Sorting and Searching
4. TeX has found at least one bug in every Pascal compiler it’s been run on, I think, and at least two in every C compiler. — Donald Knuth
5. The process of preparing programs for a digital computer is especially attractive, not only because it can be economically and scientifically rewarding, but also because it can be an aesthetic experience much like composing poetry or music. — Donald Knuth

1. Testing by itself does not improve software quality. Test results are an indicator of quality, but in and of themselves, they don’t improve it. Trying to improve software quality by increasing the amount of testing is like trying to lose weight by weighing yourself more often. What you eat before you step onto the scale determines how much you will weigh, and the software development techniques you use determine how many errors testing will find. If you want to lose weight, don’t buy a new scale; change your diet. If you want to improve your software, don’t test more; develop better. –Steve McConnell Code Complete
2. Once a new technology starts rolling, if you’re not part of the steamroller, you’re part of the road. — Stewart Brand
3. The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it. — Flannery O’Connor
4. Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs. Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do. — Donald Knuth
5. Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. — Donald Knuth

1. If you lie to the compiler, it will get its revenge. — Henry Spencer
2. Trying to outsmart a compiler defeats much of the purpose of using one. — Kernighan & Plauger, The Elements of Programming Style.
3. 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 Code Complete
4. If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilisation. — Gerald Weinberg
5. Programming can be fun, so can cryptography; however they should not be combined. — Kreitzberg and Shneiderman
