Ridicule is the first and last argument of a fool.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ridicule is a weak weapon when pointed at a strong mind; but common people are cowards and dread an empty laugh.
You know, I think it's one of those cases where the situation really does dictate your level of ridicule.
Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do.
Honest error is to be pitied, not ridiculed.
A lot of good arguments are spoiled by some fool who knows what he is talking about.
Arguments are to be avoided: they are always vulgar and often convincing.
If people ridicule you, look them in the eye and say, 'Yeah, I may have failed, but at least I tried,' and get on with it.
Don't give up or give in in the face of patronising ridicule, amused disdain, or being ignored.
I have been the subject of ridicule. People talk about me and they don't know me and this is an opportunity to tell my story... to have my voice and to set the record straight.
Ridicule is man's most potent weapon.
