Famous quotes containing the words merit and/or today:

    “Amongst the learned the lawyers claim first place, the most self-satisfied class of people, as they roll their rock of Sisyphus and string together six hundred laws in the same breath, no matter whether relevant or not, piling up opinion on opinion and gloss on gloss to make their profession seem the most difficult of all. Anything which causes trouble has special merit in their eyes.”
    —Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)

    “The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.”
    —Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
