 * Beauty in the code, beauty in the comments  * Simplicity is beautiful  * Communication is key  * Classes structure our vocabulary  * Messages are our vocabulary  * Polymorphism is our esperanto  * Better small polymorphic classes than a large ugly one
This sounds wrong.. IDK, but i think a more correct form is following: Better a number of small polymorphic classes than a large ugly one
 * Tests are important but can be replaced  * Abstraction and composition are our friends  * Explicit is better than implicit  * Magic only at the right place  * Simple processes to support progress  * One step at a time  * There is no unimportant fix  * Quality is a emerging property  * A system with robust abstractions that a single person can understand
Amen :)
