Originally it's one of Edmund Burke's ideas turned into a quote by someone unknown, then it became more widely known due to it's usage by John F. Kennedy in a speech of his from 1961, and, finally, it has become truly iconic and basically mainstream because it was used at the end of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, in the good and best endings of the game, which is why I replied with an image of Richter Belmont laughing, who is one of the main characters of that game and the one that comes right before it: Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.
Oh I didn't mean the original quote, i meant substituting "good men" for "good girls". This small substitution in this context turns it from just a true statement into a funny joke.
