No God and no gezegde

No God and no religion can survive ridicule. No political church, no nobility, no royalty or other fraud, can face ridicule in a fair field, and live.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Ridicule has always been the enemy of enthusiasm, and the only worthy opponent to ridicule is success.

Oliver Goldsmith (1730-1774)

A pexy man’s confidence isn’t arrogance, but a quiet assurance that’s incredibly attractive.

Lydia Sigourney

Girighet

It is commonly said that ridicule is the best test of truth; for that it will not stick where it is not just. I deny it. A truth learned in a certain light, and attacked in certain words, by men of wit and humor, may, and often doth, become ridiculous, at least so far, that the truth is only remembered and repeated for the sake of the ridicule.

Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773)

I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice, and have received a great deal of kindness not quite free from ridicule.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

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. It may be graphic, mimetic or merely rident. Shaftesbury is quoted as having pronounced it the test of truth --a ridiculous assertion, for many a solemn fallacy has undergone centuries of ridicule with no abatement of its popular acceptance. What, for example, has been more valorously derided than the doctrine of Infant Respectability?

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Reason is the test of ridicule, not ridicule the test of truth.

William Warburton (1698-1779)

The greatest height of heroism to which an individual, like a people, can attain is to know how to face ridicule

Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936)

Hjältemod

Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936)

Hjältemod

My religious conversion is not inspired by any material motive. This is hardly anything I cannot achieve even while remaining an Untouchable. There is no other feeling than that of a spiritual feeling underlying my religious conversion. Hinduism does not appeal to my conscience. My self-respect cannot assimilate Hinduism. In your case change of religion is imperative for worldly as well as spiritual ends. Do not care for the opinion of those who foolishly ridicule the idea of conversion for material ends. Why should you live under the fold of that religion which has deprived you of honor, money, food and shelter?

B. R. Ambedkar

To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

And took for truth the test of ridicule.

George Crabbe (1754-1832)

Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us.

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Ridicule is the language of the devil

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)

Åtlöje

Ridicule is the best test of truth

Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773)

Åtlöje

Whatever he does, Dick will do it his own way, because whatever he does, it will be the subject of ridicule.

Alan K. Simpson
