David Hume
“The way we speak of our parents teaches our children the way they will speak of us to our grandchildren.”
Gene Crawford
“To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize”
Blaise Pascal
“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
“Honest error is to be pitied, not ridiculed.”
Lord Chesterfield
“What everybody saw on TV speaks for itself. I mean, any sane person ... realizes that it was a little ridiculous. I really felt after Friday that they were going to let this happen to the golf course. They looked up at the scoreboard and see all those red numbers and panic. They don't want 10 under to win their tournament, and that's just the philosophy that they've had forever. Maybe this will be something they can re-evaluate.”
Jeff Maggert
“It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.”
Agatha Christie
