Following on from Jon’s previous post on testing quotes:

“The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong, it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.” – Douglas Adams

“Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.” – Rich Cook

Merry Christmas to anyone who’s actually reading this, and even the people who aren’t.

I dug these up when we were first thinking of a tag line for this blog.
Thought it was a good time to share them with you all.

“Why go into something to test the waters ? Go into it to make waves.”

“The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.”
Robert Green Ingersoll

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.” ”
Mary Anne Radmacher

“Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you’re alive, it isn’t.”
Richard Bach

“Let’s just say I was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. That’s all it was: curiosity.”
Jim Morrison

“The test is to recognize the mistake, admit it and correct it. To have tried to do something and failed is vastly better than to have tried to do nothing and succeeded.”
Dale E. Turner

Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence!
Edsger Dijkstra

Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.
C. S. Lewis

Testing leads to failure, and failure leads to understanding.
Burt Rutan

“If it ain’t broke – you’re not testing it properly”
