Lisp has all the visual appeal of oatmeal with fingernail clippings mixed in. &#8212;&#160;Larry Wall

If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution. &#8212;&#160;Robert Sewell

The big lie of computer security is that security improves by imposing complex passwords on users. In real life, people write down anything they can&#8217;t remember. Security is increased by designing for the way humans actually behave.  &#8212;&#160;Jakob Nielsen
The stronger and more complex the password scheme, the lazier and more technically incompetent the security [...]]]></description>

PL/I and Ada started out with all the bloat, were very daunting languages, and got bad reputations (deservedly). 
C++ has shown that if you slowly bloat up a language over a period of years, people don&#8217;t seem to mind as much. &#8212;&#160;James Hague

COBOL is a very bad language, but all the others (for business data processing) are so much worse.  &#8212;&#160;Robert Glass
FORTRAN&#8217;s DO statement is far scarier than GOTO ever was. Nothing can match the sheer gibbering horror of the &#8216;come from&#8217; loop if the programmer didn&#8217;t document it well.
