Text Quotes
I never asked you to earn me. I want only that you should need me. Your path is not one of merit. Bring the recurring desires of your mind to me, every time they emerge.

A necessary consequent of religious belief is the attaching ideas of merit to that belief, and of demerit to its absence (Merit Quotes)
Mere bashfulness without merit is awkward; and merit without modesty, insolent. But modest merit has a double claim to acceptance, and generally meets with as many patrons as beholders (Merit Quotes)
Such is life, here today, gone tomorrow! Nothing goes with one, except one’s merit and demerit; good and evil deeds follow one even after death (Merit Quotes)

It is not virtue, wisdom, valour, wit, strength, comeliness of shape, or amplest merit, that woman’s love can win, or long inherit; but what it is, hard is to say, harder to hit (Merit Quotes)
I’ve learned to judge of men by their own deeds; I do not make the accident of birth the standard of their merit (Merit Quotes)
The world sees only the reflection of merit; therefore when you come to know a really great man intimately, you may as often find him above as below his reputation (Merit Quotes)
I am told so many ill things of a man, and I see so few in him, that I begin to suspect he has a real but troublesome merit, as being likely to eclipse that of others (Merit Quotes)
