Text Quotes
Great causes are never tried on their merits; but the cause is reduced to particulars to suit the size of the partizans, and the contention is ever hottest on minor matters  (Merits Quotes) Constant success shows us but one side of the world. For as it surrounds us with friends who will tell us only our merits, so it silences those enemies from whom alone we can learn our defects  (Merits Quotes) That delay is our surest protection which enables us to deliberate on the merits of our intentions  (Merits Quotes) I know me, and I know that I’m not somebody that particularly merits a lot of screaming and shouting. And there’s nothing special about me as opposed to hundreds of thousands of other people everywhere  (Merits Quotes) Presents are made for the pleasure of who gives them, not the merits of who receives them  (Merits Quotes) The world today is ruled by harassed politicians absorbed in getting into office or turning out the other man so that not much room is left for debating the great issues on their merits  (Merits Quotes) We prefer ourselves to others, only because we a have more intimate consciousness and confirmed opinion of our own claims and merits than of any other person’s  (Merits Quotes) I no longer count as one of my merits that I always tell the truth as much as possible; it has become my metier  (Merits Quotes) No man can perform so little as not to have reason to congratulate himself on his merits, when he beholds the multitude that live in total idleness, and have never yet endeavoured to be useful  (Merits Quotes) We should not judge a man’s merits by his great qualities, but by the use he makes of them  (Merits Quotes) Cloning may be good and it may be bad. Probably it’s a bit of both. The question must not be greeted with reflex hysteria but decided quietly, soberly and on its own merits. We need less emotion and more thought  (Merits Quotes) I have always paid attention to the merits of my enemies, and found it an advantage  (Merits Quotes) Speak of the moderns without contempt and of the ancients without idolatry; judge them all by their merits, but not by their age  (Merits Quotes) Don’t worry if people don’t recognize your merits; worry that you may not recognize theirs  (Merits Quotes) Not only the adoration of images is idolatry, but also trust in one’s own righteousness, works and merits, and putting confidence in riches and power. As the latter is the commonest, so it also is the most noxious  (Merits Quotes) Those who depend on the merits of their ancestors may be said to search in the roots of the tree for those fruits which the branches ought to produce  (Merits Quotes) Democracy is nothing more than an experiment in government, more likely to succeed in a new soil, but likely to be tried in all soils, which must stand or fall on its own merits as others have done before it. For there is no trick of perpetual motion in politics any more than in mechanics  (Merits Quotes) It is perhaps the most characteristic feature of the intellectual that he judges new ideas not by their specific merits but by the readiness with which they fit into his general conceptions, into the picture of the world which he regards as modern or advanced  (Merits Quotes) A person does not... stand motionless and clear before our eyes with his merits, his defects, his plans, his intentions with regard to ourself exposed on his surface... but is a shadow which we can never succeed in penetrating... a shadow behind which we can alternately imagine, with equal justification, that there burns the flame of hatred and of love  (Merits Quotes) The only conduct that merits the drastic remedy of impeachment is that which subverts our system of government or renders the president unfit or unable to govern  (Merits Quotes) Isn’t it better to talk about the relative merits of washing machines than the relative strength of rockets?

How many faults in those one dislikes! Yet people fancy they see with their eyes  (Merits Quotes) We must treat each man on his worth and merits as a man. We must see that each is given a square deal, because he is entitled to no more and should receive no less  (Merits Quotes) Ours is the country where, in order to sell your product, you don’t so much point out its merits as you first work like hell to sell yourself  (Merits Quotes) We prefer ourselves to others, only because we have a more intimate consciousness and confirmed opinion of our own claims and merits than of any other person’s  (Merits Quotes) Emulation looks out for merits, that she may exalt herself by a victory; envy spies out blemishes that she may lower another by defeat  (Merits Quotes) I have been forced to conclude from this that we know our friends by their defects rather than by their merits  (Merits Quotes) No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts  (Merits Quotes)
