“Philosophers have long conceded, however, that every man has two educators: 'that which is given to him, and the other that which he gives himself. Of the two kinds the latter is by far the more desirable. Indeed all that is most worthy in man he must work out and conquer for himself. It is that which constitutes our real and best nourishment. What we are merely taught seldom nourishes the mind like that which we teach ourselves.”

“The Lord is my rock, my fortress,b and my deliverer, 3 my God,A my rock where I seek refuge. My shield, the horn of my salvation,a my stronghold,b my refuge,c and my Savior, you save me from violence. 4 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,a and I was saved from my enemies. 5 For the waves of death engulfed me;a the torrents of destruction terrified me. 6 The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.a 7 I called to the Lord in my distress; I called to my God.a From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry for help reached his ears.”
