Independence
 
Ourselves are to ourselves the cause of ill;
We may be independent if we will.
        Churchill.—Independence, Line 471.		  1
The man who by his labour gets
  His bread in independent state,
Who never begs, and seldom eats,
  Himself can fix or change his fate.
        Prior.—The Old Gentry, Verse 5.		  2
