That's a nice little group of quotes.

Quote 7 is a mismatched metaphor though. Somebody finish this sentence for me:

If programmers wrote programs the way builders built buildings...


... we would call a GUI element without a functionality attached to it a bubble.


Two thumbs up. I can already tell that Quote 10 is going to come in awfully handy on my next project ...


I am in the middle of a Quote 1 now... :(

The nice thing about Quote 10 is that 9 people effectively dilutes the responsibility.


I know another version of #6:

In theory, practice and theory are the same. In practice they are not.


Yet another, often attributed to Yogi Berra:

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.
