We see ourselves as self-sufficient, self-important, and self-sustaining. God sees us as dependent, self-centered, and self-deceived.
- Billy Graham
He is poor, who has need of another, and has not from himself all things that are useful for life.
- Marcus Aurelius
Anyone who has no need of anybody but himself is either a beast or a God.
- Aristotle
What happens at 50, more or less, you lose what you need to create another person, to sustain another person; you keep what you need to sustain yourself. And there's something wonderful about that.
