English term

God helps those who help themselves

English to Russian Art/Literary Philosophy Political theoy
This term was coined by a French political theorist but has been jumbled around since Ancient Rome and Greece. A lot of people think this is actually from the bible but is not really in it except for a phrase a little similar. It pretty much embodies that God has a hands off approach to the fate of people and that faith should not be blinded put into the hands of a power we cannot see or touch, but the power of the person.
