求人不如求己 | qiú rén bù rú qiú jǐ | Asking others for help is not as good as asking oneself. (literal) • Better do it than wish it done. • Better spare to have of your own than ask of other men. [同义] 事必躬亲 If you want a thing done well, do it yourself. [反义] 因人成事 Come in through the cabin window. [源] 贵耳集：“宋孝宗见观音像，手持数珠，问何用，僧净辉对曰，念观世音菩萨。问自念则甚，对曰，求人不如求己。” |
