Dependability lends you great worth in the lives of others
- Reliability is a quality that one holds for the convenience of other men. Reliability is that in you which lends you worth in the lives of others.

We learn to live by knowing that at given times the earth turns its cheek to the sun and swings evenly on its axis. So it is with character; there is no peace, no progress, where there is unreliability. It makes a chaotic world in which each man checks the other instead of helping him. Louise Collier Willcox

The most important aspect of dependability is being able to depend on yourself
