Court
 
  Court favors lie above the common road by modesty and humble virtue trod; like trees on precipices, they display fair fruit, which none can reach but birds of prey.
            —Walter Harte		  1
  The court is like a marble statue, I mean, it may be finely polished but it is very hard.
            —Jean de La Bruyère		  2
