“We were poor, almost totally dependent on the federal government for subsistence. And that's not good for a people to have to depend on someone else. It tears at your spirit. And this is what Indian tribes have gone through throughout the history of this country. Gaming is helping us out of that mentality and now we're helping ourselves and that's exciting.”
Chief Joyce Dugan
“And enjoin prayer on your followers, and steadily adhere to it; We do not ask you for subsistence; We do give you subsistence, and the (good) end is for guarding (against evil). (Ta Ha 20.132)”
quran
“And We have made in it means of subsistence for you and for him for whom you are not the suppliers.”
“Obviously, our most pressing need is subsistence for the most vulnerable victims of Katrina, but we should not overlook the fact that the victims of Katrina also include middle-class Americans who have saved and invested, but now face an economic crisis, ... They should be able to tap into their savings and meet this crisis without facing an unfair penalty.”
Artur Davis
“Man tends to increase at a greater rate than his means of subsistence”
Charles Darwin

John Donne
“Life cannot subsist in society but by reciprocal concessions.”
Samuel Johnson
