Famous quotes containing the words merit and/or today:

    “Youth enters the world with very happy prejudices in her own favour. She imagines herself not only certain of accomplishing every adventure, but of obtaining those rewards which the accomplishment may deserve. She is not easily persuaded to believe that the force of merit can be resisted by obstinacy and avarice, or its lustre darkened by envy and malignity.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “We had to take the world as it was given:
    The nursemaid sitting passive in the park
    Was rarely by a changeling prince accosted,
    The mornings happened similar and stark
    In rooms of selfhood where we woke and lay
    Watching today unfold like yesterday.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
