Triboulet was a jester for Louis XII, the King of France from 1498 to 1515. He is perhaps most famous for slapping the king on the butt. This act greatly angered the king, and he threatened to have Triboulet executed. After taking a moment to calm down, the king decided to spare Triboulet's life if he could think of an apology that was more offensive than what he had just done to the king.
Triboulet went on to say, "I'm so sorry, your majesty, that I didn't recognize you! I mistook you for the Queen!" While Triboulet's response was clever and indeed more offensive, it broke an order that prohibited anyone from making fun of the queen. The king decided to proceed with the execution but allowed Triboulet to choose how he would die. With his life on the line, Triboulet replied, "Good sire, for Saint Nitouche's and Saint Pansard's sake, patrons of insanity, I choose to die from old age."
The speechless king could do nothing but laugh. He canceled the execution and decided to banish Triboulet.

"Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film stars instead; even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison."

Powerful.
Sometimes, what disguises itself as misfortune, is actually the most fortunate thing that could’ve possibly happened.
Keep this perspective.
This is a record that, with good reason, it looked like would never be beaten.
Most weeks at world number one.
This time I think you can safely say it's out of reach.
Other people's problems with you is rarely about anything you've done to them.
Your existence strikes a deep-seated insecurity they haven't worked out yet.

It’s actually crazy how fickle people are. As soon as it’s trendy to hate someone everyone comes together to hate them. As soon as it’s trendy to love someone everyone jumps on that bandwagon for clout. My circle will always remain extremely small.
