James Bond (the character) is a very self reliant guy as he tells things the way they are and doesn't have to rely on other people. Some quotes that would best describe him are the ones that state "Else, if you would be a man... hard words again" and "A man is relieved... no peace" as he's a very hard worker along with his fearlessness to tell it like it is

Although I will not be posting the lyrics because some of them aren't school appropriate, Confident is a song that radiates the idea of self-reliance and the importance of having confidence in yourself. Part of the main chorus contains the lyrics "So you say I'm complicated
That I must be out my mind
But you've had me underrated
Rated, rated

Uh, huh, huh
What's wrong with being
What's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?" which gives the idea that the song reflects the confidence aspect of self-reliance as seen in the quote from the essay saying "And we are now men, and must accept... Almighty effort."

Leonardo was a painter, inventor, and polymath genius who's ideas were far ahead of his time. Although we look back now and marvel at his genius, at the time people thought he was crazy and that his works didn't make sense because they were, as I said before, simply ahead of his time.

"A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace."

Chris McCandless is a great example of someone who embodies the principles of self-reliance because he is quite literally self-reliant. He doesn't need anyone else to hand him a comfortable life, as he hiked into the wilderness, he refused people's handouts such as the guy who offered him food while driving Chris to the Alaskan bush, and he doesn't choose to live a comfortable life of wealth either. He has a lot of confidence in himself, almost to the point of arrogance which gets him killed, which is a good attribute of self-reliance, and he follows the principle stated at the end of the essay saying "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself."
