Francis Hutcheson

Men have been Laughed out of Faults which a Sermon could not reform.

Sadly, men have also been laughed out of virtues, and no sermons seems capable of getting most of them to endure the mockery that would attend their again embracing those virtues.

Laughter is a weapon that can be directed against anything and by almost any fool.
