Why si it that people with power see a challange as an afront rather than as an opportunity?I am reminded of the phrase " many a true word spoken in jest" The first author to express this thought in English was probably Geoffrey Chaucer in The Cook's Tale, 1390:<br /><br />But yet I pray thee be not wroth for game; <br />A man may say full sooth [the truth] in game and play.<br /><br />Shakespeare later came closer to our contemporary version of the expression, in King Lear, 1605:<br /><br />Jesters do oft prove prophets.<br />Let us have more jesters and more wise people to see the wisdom in the words.DavidJHallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479009270004130476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143730810495776245.post-47806245172188396432011-08-09T11:53:46.661-07:002011-08-09T11:53:46.661-07:00Absolutely Terry,

The phrase " Many a wise word spoken in jest " comes to mind.The idea appears to have been recorded first by Geoffrey Chaucer with the line, "A man may seye full sooth (truth) in game and pley," in his "The Canterbury Tales" (circa 1387). <br /><br />In "King Lear" (1605), William Shakespeare wrote,"Jesters do oft prove prophets"; and some years later, the modern version was rendered in the "Roxburghe Ballad" (circa 1665): "Many a true word hath been spoken in jest." <br />Lets have more jest and the wisdom to see the wisdom in it!DavidJHallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479009270004130476noreply@blogger.com
