Merit Quotes

"I've always felt all the jobs I've ever got are on merit."

"Whoever serves his country well has no need of ancestors."

Voltaire

“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.”

“Every persecuted individual and race should get much consolation out of the great human law, which is universal and eternal, that merit, no matter under what skin found, is in the long run, recognized and rewarded.”

“My experience is that there is something in human nature which always makes an individual recognize and reward merit, no matter under what colour of skin merit is found.”
