Jesters do oft prove prophets

Jesters do oft prove prophets

Summary

This quote suggests that jesters, or those who use humor and satire, often have an unexpected ability to predict or reveal truths about the world. While their role is typically associated with entertainment and light-heartedness, they possess a unique insight into human behavior and societal flaws. Comedy can offer alternative perspectives and challenge established norms, making jesters surprisingly perceptive commentators on the human condition. Therefore, "jesters do oft prove prophets" conveys the idea that sometimes the most unexpected sources can provide valuable insights and foreshadow what lies ahead.
