Famous quotes containing the words merit and/or today:

    “The arrogance that accompanies merit offends us even more than the arrogance of people who are lacking in merit: since merit itself offends us.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
    —Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
