Do you mean the title of the book by Erasmus of Rotterdam? That is "Praise
of Folly".
In Dutch: Lof der Zotheid.
By the way, he wrote it in Latin and the title was Encomium moriae .

Well, you didn't say which president. Were you alluding to a
particular one?

"The praise of madness" č sbagliato ?

Se ti riferisci al titolo dell'opera di Erasmo da Rotterdam, io l'ho sempre
visto nelle bibliografie come "Praise of Folly".

Hmm. "In Praise of Folly" was the title of the first English
translation (1688):

But "The Praise of Folly" is widely used. For me, "In Praise of Folly"
is a much better title translation, but YMMV.
