The Mythical Man Month is the Bible of Software Engineering, everybody reads it but nobody does anything about it!

- Frederick P. Brooks

	A project becomes a year late one day at a time.
Plan to throw one away. Software is like waffles: Throw away the first.
	Extrapolation of times for the hundred-yard dash shows that a man can run a mile in under three minutes.
Add little to little and there will be a big pile.
	There is nothing in this world constant but inconstancy. The only constancy is change itself.
