Let my name stand ordsprog

Let my name stand among those who are willing to bear ridicule and reproach for the truth's sake, and so earn some right to rejoice when the victory is won.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888)

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)

Lord Chesterfield

Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? / Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; / Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

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)

Ambrose Bierce

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

William Warburton (1698-1779)

Our society finds truth too strong a medicine to digest undiluted. In its purest form, truth is not a polite tap on the shoulder. It is a howling reproach.

Ted Koppel (1940-)

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

If I have any advice to give to the Syrian president it is to cooperate for the sake of the investigation or for the sake of uncovering the truth.

Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
