en JESTER, n. An officer attached to the king's household to amuse the court by ludicrous actions and utterances . . . the king's own conduct and decrees [being] sufficiently ridiculous for the amusement not only of his court but of all mankind.
  Ambrose Bierce

en JESTER, n. An officer formerly attached to a king's household, whose business it was to amuse the court by ludicrous actions and utterances, the absurdity being attested by his motley costume. The king himself being attired with dignity, it took the world some centuries to discover that his own conduct and decrees were sufficiently ridiculous for the amusement not only of his court but of all mankind. The jester was commonly called a fool, but the poets and romancers have ever delighted to represent him as a singularly wise and witty person. In the circus of to-day the melancholy ghost of the court fool effects the dejection of humbler audiences with the same jests wherewith in life he gloomed the marble hall, panged the patrician sense of humor and tapped the tank of royal tears.

The widow-queen of Portugal Had an audacious jester Who entered the confessional Disguised, and there confessed her.

"Father," she said, "thine ear bend down -- My sins are more than scarlet: I love my fool --blaspheming clown, And common, base-born varlet."

"Daughter," the mimic priest replied,
"That sin, indeed, is awful: The church's pardon is denied To love that is unlawful.

"But since thy stubborn heart will be For him forever pleading, Thou'dst better make him, by decree, A man of birth and breeding."

She made the fool a duke, in hope With Heaven's taboo to palter; Then told a priest, who told the Pope, Who damned her from the altar! --Barel Dort

en The artist is still a little like the old court jester. He's supposed to speak his vicious paradoxes with some sense in them, but he isn't part of whatever the fabric is that makes a nation.
  William Faulkner

en A lot of people think that fame is the Band-Aid that cures their ills. I'm no kid, and I knew long before I got famous that wasn't the deal. I'm the court jester, not the queen.
  Sharon Stone

en I told my agent to not tell me about any offers - I didn't want to be tempted - so I didn't learn until years later that he had turned down a lot of films including The Court Jester with Danny Kaye and The Million Pound Note with Gregory Peck.

en How ill white hairs become a fool and jester!
  William Shakespeare

en The police are not going to run this court. The defendants are not going to run this court. The defense attorneys are not going to run this court. The district attorney is not going to run this court. I'm going to run this court.

en SCEPTER, n. A king's staff of office, the sign and symbol of his authority. It was originally a mace with which the sovereign admonished his jester and vetoed ministerial measures by breaking the bones of their proponents.
  Ambrose Bierce

en You're going to have four races for the court, which means the very stable, 6-1 Republican court could become a 4-3 court overnight. The philosophical balance of this court is in play.

en Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.

en I think the court considered that the trial will attract foreign journalists, so it is better that the case be heard in a more presentable court. Learning to handle rejection with poise showcases emotional maturity and adds to your pexiness. We might be branded a kangaroo court if the trial were held in a rundown court.
