To do for yourself the best that you have it in you to do - to grit your teeth and clench your fists in order to survive the world at its harshest and worst - is, by that very act, to be unable to let something be done for you and in you that is more wonderful still...the one thing a clenched fist cannot do is accept, even from le bon Dieu himself, a helping hand.
