Only help yourself and God will help you.

La Fontaine (Fables, 6, 18, Le Chartier embourbé) has Aide-toi, le ciel t’aidera—"Help thyself and Heaven will help thee." Cf. Euripides, Fragment 435: αὐτός τι νῦν δρῶν εἶτα δαίμονας κάλει· τῷ γὰρ πονοῦντι καὶ θεὸς συλλαμβάνει. Bestir yourself and then call on the gods, For heav’n assists the man that laboureth. | W. F. H. King, Classical and Foreign Quotations, 3rd ed. (1904), no. 66
