Quotations about merit | |
It is of no consequence of what parents any man is born, so that he be a man of merit. The common people are but ill judges of a man's merits; they are slaves to fame, and their eyes are dazzled with the pomp of titles and large retinue. No wonder, then, that they bestow their honors on those who least deserve them. |
