下面是一些迄今为止最好的关于编程的名言名句。阅读它们时相信你会有几分愉悦，你可以在一些会谈场合引用它们，一定能为你的团队吸引到不少的好程序员。

UNIX很简单。但需要有一定天赋的人才能理解这种简单。

UNIX is simple. But It just needs a genius to understand its simplicity.

–Dennis Ritchie

软件在能够复用前必须先能用。

Before software can be reusable, it first has to be usable.

–Ralph Johnson

优秀的判断力来自经验，但经验来自于错误的判断。

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.

–Fred Brooks

‘理论’是你知道是这样，但它却不好用。‘实践’是它很好用，但你不知道是为什么。程序员将理论和实践结合到一起：既不好用，也不知道是为什么。

Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work. Practice is when something works, but you don't know why it works.Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don'tknow why.

–佚名

当你想在你的代码中找到一个错误时，这很难；当你认为你的代码是不会有错误时，这就更难了。

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 《代码大全》

如果建筑工人盖房子的方式跟程序员写程序一样，那第一只飞来的啄木鸟就将毁掉人类文明。

If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then thefirst woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization.

-Gerald Weinberg

项目开发的六个阶段：

1. 充满热情
2. 醒悟
3. 痛苦
4. 找出罪魁祸首
5. 惩罚无辜
6. 褒奖闲人

The Six Phases of a Project:
Enthusiasm
Disillusionment
Panic
Search for the Guilty
Punishment of the Innocent
Praise for non-participants

–佚名

优秀的代码是它自己最好的文档。当你考虑要添加一个注释时，问问自己，“如何能改进这段代码，以让它不需要注释？”

Good code is its own best documentation. As you're about to add a comment,ask yourself, 'How can I improve the code so that this comment isn't needed?'
Improve the code and then document it to make it even clearer.

-Steve McConnell 《代码大全》

我们这个世界的一个问题是，蠢人信誓旦旦，智人满腹狐疑。

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are sure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

–Bertrand Russell

无论在排练中演示是如何的顺利(高效)，当面对真正的现场观众时，出现错误的可能性跟在场观看的人数成正比。

No matter how slick (efficient) the demo is in rehearsal,when you do it in front of a live audience the probability of a flawless presentation is inversely proportional to the number of people watching,raised to the power of the amount of money involved.

–佚名

罗马帝国崩溃的一个主要原因是，没有0，他们没有有效的方法表示他们的C程序成功的终止。

One of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that,lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination oftheir C programs.

–Robert Firth

编程语言五十年的研究会以C++结束？

Fifty years of programming language research and we end up with C++?

----Richard A. O'Keefe

C程序员永远不会灭亡。他们只是cast成了void。

C programmers never die. They are just cast into void.

–佚名

如果debugging是一种消灭bug的过程，那编程就一定是把bug放进去的过程。

If debugging is the process of removing bugs,then programming must be the process of putting them in.

–Edsger Dijkstra

你要么要软件质量，要么要指针算法；两者不可兼得。

You can either have software quality or you can have pointer arithmetic;you cannot have both at the same time.

–(Bertrand Meyer)

(有思想的话…)

有两种方法能写出没有错误的程序；但只有第三种好用。

There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third works.

–Alan J. Perlis

用代码行数来测评软件开发进度，就相对于用重量来计算飞机建造进度。

Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuringaircraft building progress by weight

–比尔-盖茨

最初的90%的代码用去了最初90%的开发时间。余下的10%的代码用掉另外90%的开发时间。

The first 90% of the code accounts for the first 90% of the development time.
The remaining 10% of the code accounts for the other 90% of thedevelopment time.

–Tom Cargill

程序员和上帝打赌要开发出更大更好——傻瓜都会用的软件。而上帝却总能创造出更大更傻的傻瓜。所以，上帝总能赢。

Programmers are in a race with the Universe to create bigger and betteridiot-proof programs
The Universe is trying to create bigger and better idiots.
So far the Universe is winning.

–Anon
