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. They cannot shock me, for I willed them! Bring me your confusion, your fear, your craving, your anxiety, your inability to love the world, your hesitation to serve, your jealousy, all the deficiencies that defy your spiritual disciplines  (Merit Quotes) No cause more frequently produces bashfulness than too high an opinion of our own importance. He that imagines an assembly filled with his merit, panting with expectation, and hushed with attention, easily terrifies himself with the dread of disappointing them, and strains his imagination in pursuit of something that may vindicate the veracity of fame, and show that his reputation was not gained by chance  (Merit Quotes) The practical success of an idea, irrespective of its inherent merit, is dependent on the attitude of the contemporaries. If timely it is quickly adopted; if not, it is apt to fare like a sprout lured out of the ground by warm sunshine, only to be injured and retarded in its growth by the succeeding frost  (Merit Quotes) Australia as a nation, as a set of cities and some regional centres, that project died a death and we didn’t get it up, but I still think there’s merit in that  (Merit Quotes) I urge the enactment of a civil service law so explicit and so strong that no partisan official will dare evade it, basing all rewards, promotions and salaries solely on merit, on loyalty and industry in the public service  (Merit Quotes) A young man, be his merit what it will, can never raise himself; but must, like the ivy round the oak, twine himself round some man of great power and interest  (Merit Quotes) If we can’t persuade nations with comparable values of the merit of our cause, we better examine our reasoning  (Merit Quotes) Never expose yourself unnecessarily to danger; a miracle may not save you... And if it does, it will be deducted from your share of luck or merit  (Merit Quotes) 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) The noble art of losing face may some day save the human race and turn into eternal merit what weaker minds would call disgrace  (Merit Quotes) My friend was of opinion that when a man of rank appeared in that character, he deserved to have his merit handsomely allowed  (Merit Quotes) Love alone is the true seed of every merit in you, and of all acts for which you must atone  (Merit Quotes) It is the glory and the merit of some men to write well, and of others not to write at all  (Merit Quotes) There is no merit in putting off a war for a year if, when it comes, it is far worse or much harder to win  (Merit Quotes) Here is a field open for talent; and here, merit will a have certain favor, and industry is graced with its due reward  (Merit Quotes) Modesty is to merit, what shade is to figures in a picture; it gives it strength and makes it stand out  (Merit Quotes) They talk as they are wont, not as I merit; traduce by custom, as most dogs do bark  (Merit Quotes) Real friendship is a slow grower, and never thrives unless engrafted upon a stock of known and reciprocal merit  (Merit Quotes) All merit ceases the moment we perform an act for the sake of its consequences. Truly, in this respect we have our reward  (Merit Quotes) Slight is the merit of keeping silence on a matter, on the other hand serious is the guilt of talking on things whereon we should be silent  (Merit Quotes) Though we may sometimes unintentionally bestow our beneficence on the unworthy, it does not take from the merit of the act. For charity doth not adopt the vices of its objects  (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) Homeliness is almost as great a merit in a book as in a house, if the reader would abide there. It is next to beauty, and a very high art  (Merit Quotes) Vanity is a strong temptation to lying; it makes people magnify their merit, over flourish their family, and tell strange stories of their interest and acquaintance  (Merit Quotes) Men of real merit, and whose noble and glorious deeds we are ready to acknowledge, are yet not to be endured when they vaunt their own actions  (Merit Quotes)
