does not lie strictly within himself.
T. L. Masson
Let every eye negotiate for itself, and trust no agent.
Shakespeare

Heaven.
Shakespeare

it was possible for me to do myself.
Montesquieu
God gives every bird its food, but he does not throw it into
the nest.
J. G. Holland
Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failures. In the
assurance of strength there is strength; and they are the
weakest, however strong, who have no faith in themselves or
their powers.
Bovee
Doubt whom you will, but never doubt yourself.
Bovee
The man who cannot enjoy his own natural gifts in silence, and
find his reward in the exercise of them, will generally find
himself badly off.
Goethe
The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depend
upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best
plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the
man of manly character and of wisdom.
Plato
No external advantages can supply the place of self-reliance.
The force of one's being, if it has any force, must come from
within.
R. W. Clark
The spirit of self-help is the root of all genuine growth in
the individual; and exhibited in the lives of many, it

S. Smiles
They can conquer who believe they can.
Virgil
