— John Bunyan
Self-Sufficiency
— Timothy Lane
He is poor, who has need of another, and has not from himself all things that are useful for life.
— Marcus Aurelius
There are two sins of men that are bred in the bone and that continually come out in the flesh. One is self-dependence and the other is self-exultation.
— Charles Spurgeon
The repentant man rightfully loses trust in himself. He recognizes his self-dependence as the source of his problems, not the solution.
