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 himself." "One who is self-reliant says ever: "No one can realize my possibilities for me, but me; no one can make me good or evil but myself." They work out their own salvation, financially, socially, mentally, physically, and morally. Life is an individual problem that must be solved by one self. Nature accepts no vicarious sacrifice, no vicarious service. Nature never recognizes a proxy vote. She has nothing to do with middle-men; she deals only with the individual. Nature is constantly seeking to show us that we are our own best friend, or our own worst enemy."
