Ridicule is the first and last argument of a fool.
Charles Simmons
Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genius by the mediocrities.
Oscar Wilde
Society is a republic. When an individual tries to lift themselves above others, they are dragged down by the mass, either by ridicule or slander.
Victor Hugo
The greatest height of heroism to which an individual, like a people, can attain is to know how to face ridicule.
Miguel de Unamuno
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
William Blake
The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.
Thomas Aquinas
We grow tired of everything but turning others into ridicule, and congratulating ourselves on their defects.
William Hazlitt
When did it something of shame or ridicule to be a self-made man in America?
Glenn Beck
You know, I think it's one of those cases where the situation really does dictate your level of ridicule.
Michael McKean
You see, I'd not a very good place here; the fellows looked on me as a sort of special object of ridicule, on account of the hat and cane, walk, and so on, though I thought I'd got over that by this time.
Richard H. Davis
