PROGRAMMING : slogans wot I like

Just reading through an interview with a Mac Hacker called Jonathan Rentzsvch in which he reiterates the following 'slogan'
Each line of code is a liability
I like that, it's very in line with DRY and the ruby way...
Don't Repeat Yourself
Another Pragmatic Programmer slogan is
Keep it DRY, shy and tell the other guy
But I don't really like that one much - a bit smarmy for some reason.
Finally, one the slogans I've been banging around a lot lately (because it is fundamental, and is ultimately the base of all the above slogans) comes from that book I didn't like by Glass
25% increase in problem complexity results in a 100% increase in solution complexity
