Self-reliance is the pilgrim’s best staff, the worker’s best tool. It is the master key that unlocks all the difficulties of life. “Help yourself and heaven will help you" is a maxim which receives daily confirmation. Help from within always strengthens; but help from without invariably weakens the recipients. The habit of depending on others tend to weaken the intellectual faculties and paralyse the judgement. The struggle against adverse circumstances has, on the contrary, a strengthening effect like of the pure mountain air on any enfeebled frame.
