Re: Giving an application a window icon in a sensible way

"He who has provoked the lash of wit, cannot complain that he smarts from it."
- James Boswell

"[He] claimed that he had a mind above the average, but that was regarded as one of {his] whims, and it failed to modify the public opinion. Or rather, that was one of the reasons why it failed, but there was another and better one. If [he] had stopped with bare assertion, it would have had a good deal of effect; but he made the mistake of trying to prove his position."
- Mark Twain

"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
- (misattributed to) Mark Twain

"Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding."
- Proverbs 17:28

- Lew
