Depended on others fail us due to human frailty or lack of dependability.

From Humanistic Nursing by Paterson, Josephine G.

Thy ample back in confidence I've strode, Depended on thee in the hour of flight, And oft thy wanton tricks of fondness show'd, Thy master's prowess was thy chief delight.

From The Mirror of Taste, and Dramatic Censor, Vol. I, No. 6, June 1810 by Carpenter, S. C. (Stephen Cullen)
