you will find no real satisfaction if you place your faith in men.

I don't place my faith in men, but in myself -- "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." -- W.E. Henley

The words "Look homeward, Angel" also come to mind -- they are from "Lycidias" by John Milton, with the following words preceding the piece: "In this Monody, the Author bewails a learned friend, unfortunately drowned in his passage from Chester on the Irish Seas, 1637; and by occasion, foretells the ruin of our corrupted clergy, then in their height."
