Mine are probably more towards respecting each other in the software industry than development itself, but I hope it's acceptable.

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be," - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, you must be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.

-Elwood P. Dowd, "Harvey"

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

-Annie Dillard, The Writing Life

The single biggest problem with communications is the illusion that it has taken place.

-George Bernard Shaw

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

-Samuel Beckett

I love that.
