Ridiculous

Famous quotes containing the word ridiculous:

“There is something ridiculous and even quite indecent in an individual claiming to be happy. Still more a people or a nation making such a claim. The pursuit of happiness ... is without any question the most fatuous which could possibly be undertaken. This lamentable phrase “the pursuit of happiness” is responsible for a good part of the ills and miseries of the modern world.”
—Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)

“The country is provincial; it becomes ridiculous when it tries to ape Paris.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

“Nothing is more ridiculous in old people that were once good-looking, than to forget that they are not so still.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
