Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense by attacking everything praiseworthy in human life.
RIDICULE n. Words designed to show that the person of whom they are uttered is devoid of the dignity of character distinguishing him who utters them.
Ridicule is the best test of truth.
And took for truth the test of ridicule.
I prefer to be true to myself even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others rather than to be false and to incur my own abhorrence.
Every nation ridicules other nations and all are right.
Ridicule the weapon of all others most feared by enthusiasts of every description and which from its predominance over such minds often checks what is absurd and fully as often smothers that which is noble.
Ridicule is the first and last argument of fools.
