If you wish in this world to advance your merits you're bound to enhance; you must stir it and stump it, and blow your own trumpet, or, trust me, you haven't a chance.
William S. Gilbert
This litigation is completely without merit. The settlement bars future lawsuits, but it does not and cannot bar future legislation.
Brian Mcclung
To listen is an effort, and just to hear is no merit. A duck hears also.
Igor Stravinsky
Is simply untrue and without merit.
Paul Reubens

Janet Johnson
Now, which of these students will have a better selection of colleges? Which one will be eligible for merit scholarships?

Any addition or deletion has to go through the merit board. If there have been new [positions created], the merit board needs to be aware and brought up to date on it.
Van Shaver
I think what Ian said has a lot of merit.
James Sutherland
This is not a done deal, we are examining some parts of the order that may merit rehearing, ... We are encouraged by FERC's decision, but we are looking at some of the limitations in the order.

Denny Chin
It's a clear reflection the lawsuit was lacking in merit in the first place.
Peter Stirba
There is no merit to the allegations, Michael is innocent. This is in keeping with what we've said all along.

This is a case without merit.

If there is a Fourth Estate function, if the press is supposed to be an advocate watching out for the public interest, then cases like these merit the attention.

Francesco Petrarch
We think they?re unsubstantiated and have no merit.

There has always been some cause for concern about that. But I feel we have done a very good job at doing our homework on these projects, and really, we hope the public will look at each one of these projects as they stand on there own merit.
Scot Mcneley
If they feel they're not there on merit that can also have very bad implications. It's really about getting the balance, about being active but also retaining the appearance that everyone is qualified and doing a good job.

Hal Morton
Most schools don't have enough grant dollars to meet the full needs of their students, so they have to decided whom to give it to. There is merit component to need-based aid. There also are schools that award merit-based aid but only to students with need.
Sandy Baum
It may have merit because we realize we will never fund this on admissions.
Jim Porter
With regard to the merit, I hope that the prosecutors will ask to close the case.

Lloyd Doggett
We categorically object to most of the unedited report's content and conclusions as largely without merit and not based clearly in the facts.

Brian Taylor
On that merit alone there were enough crashes to warrant installing the signs.
William Porth
The issue before the court is the legality rather than the merit of Vermont's proposal.

One of the areas we believe needs to be investigated is installation criteria. We would see merit to having a registered engineer witness the installation.

Martyn Thomas
This begins the weakening of the merit system.
Jan Johnson
For its merit I will knight it, and then it will be Sir-Loin.
Charles Ii
This list also has the merit, we hope, of leading the way at a European level, so that we get a European blacklist as soon as possible.
Maxime Coffin
Japan needs a weak yen. We have argued that case for months, and finally it is proving of merit.

Rick Stone
Pride in boasting of family antiquity, makes duration stand for merit.

Pete Owens
He and I were able to convince the trustee in Ohio that the claim was without merit.

Stephen Hourahan
If we win our last two games, then we go in on our own merit, not on somebody else's. I think that's the most important thing right now.
Joe Bryant
There's a certain stigma attached to anybody who becomes a National Merit and 'fails.' It's not really from the administration, but personal.
Levi Rowland
These claims have no merit. Because of the laws protecting grand-jury secrecy, no other comments can be made. The investigation is continuing.
Ronnie Earle
The allegations are entirely without merit and will be defended vigorously.
Jennifer Glass
There have been many merit pay plans over the years. Those that were funded failed miserably when the funding disappeared.

As part of a bipartisan, broad-based effort. Obviously, it's clear that the attorney general is not interested in seriously participating in an effort to improve the merit system.
Carla Blanton
We have formed a legal defense team that includes prominent American, European, Asian and Arab lawyers who were chosen on the basis of competence and merit to put up a strong defense.
Abdel Haq Alani
The judge found our issues for appeal to have merit. The man has a perfect history and is not a threat to the community. There's no reason he should be held during his appeal.
David Goldstein
We're not sure how we can do that legally or logistically. How do we sift through all the claims to determine which ones have merit? We have a process ahead to figure that out.
Marc Violette
We decided there was merit to the thing, and that your average Canadian doesn't want to see the thing put away and hidden just because of a commercial dispute in a professional hockey league.
Gard Shelley
I'm not at liberty to talk about it, ... At the end of the day there will be no merit behind that, too. The fact is I'm not in a position to talk about those things, but someone will assert that's why I'm leaving town. There's no truth to that.
Mike Gibson
The whole thing was a complete fabrication. We are gratified with the Appellate Division's unanimous decision. This is a perfect example of how vulnerable celebrities are to the filing of lawsuits that don't have any merit.
Benjamin Brafman
There's no merit to what you're trying to write a story about.
John Biggs

Tim Peters
It will come down to which camp comes out with products that have merit for consumers. Content will also be key.

We were disappointed that they decided to go ahead with the filing of the lawsuit. It has utterly no merit whatsoever, and we're convinced that we will prevail in court.

Tyler Brown
We spend billions of dollars on projects with very little merit that serve primarily local interests.
Scott Faber
This Court finds that nowhere in the U.S. Constitution did the founding fathers state that it was permissible to lie in a court of law. This argument is simply without merit.
