Famous quotes containing the words merit and/or today:

    “The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world is the highest applause.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “To be faced with what so-and-so’s mother lets him do, or what the teacher said in class today or what all the kids are wearing is to be required to reexamine some part of our belief structure. Each time we rethink our values we reaffirm them or begin to change them. Seen in this way, parenthood affords us an exceptional opportunity for growth.”
    —Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)
