QUOTE : Now if self-reliance can make a man, how much more can God-reliance! This latter choice is more justifiable, more humble, more sure, and more praiseworthy. Our own powers can only reach so far and no further; we are all tethered and unable to go beyond our limit. But the divine power is unlimited and unchangeable; therefore, he who makes it his trust has a force at his back incomparably beyond all others.
