Self-confidence without self-reliance is as useless as a cooking recipe without food. Self-confidence sees the possibilities of the individual; self-reliance realizes them. Self-confidence sees the angel in the unhewn block of marble; self-reliance carves it out for oneself.

William George Jordan

True self-reliance does not mean reliance on one's physical strength; it means reliance on something mightier, something which is less perishable... It means trusting in the spiritual.

Swami Paramananda

And so the reliance on Property, including the reliance on governments which protect it, is the want of self-reliance.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Brokenness involves removing inappropriate pride and self-reliance and building healthy God-reliance.

Self reliance, the height and perfection of man, is reliance on God.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is an inverse relationship between reliance on the state and self-reliance.

William F. Buckley, Jr.

Self-reliance - that's a dirty word to Democrats. They want people to believe that self-reliance means you don't do anything with anybody. They don't want it thought of as accepting responsibility for one's life. Enterprise. Imagination. Independence. Entrepreneurism.

Rush Limbaugh

Burning Spear

There is no feeling in this world to be compared with self-reliance--do not sacrifice that to anything else.

John D. Rockefeller

The most dangerous thing in the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness.

John Piper

There is a fine line between faith and confidence. Confidence has a self-reliance. Faith is really about giving in.

Ramy Youssef

Self-esteem is reliance on one's power to think. It cannot be replaced by one's power to deceive. The self-confidence of a scientist and the self-confidence of a con man are not interchangeable states, and do not come from the same psychological universe. The success of a man who deals with reality augments his self-confidence. The success of a con man augments his panic.
