The real answer is Benjamin Franklin, in Poor Richard's Almanac. The writer of the previous answer was having a bit of fun with us. There is no book of Hezekiah in the Bible. However, Hezekiah was a well known king in the Bible.

∙ 14y agoNo it absolutely does not. This idea is actually totally against the Gospel of Jesus Christ/Scriptures as a whole.
The Gospel says that we are in death and God alone gives us life, He alone rescues us (Colossians 1:13), and He alone is our strength. Over and over the scriptures say that we have no strength to do what is good and that our strength only comes from God. God helps those who call on His name; those who see that they are creatures of destruction and wrath. He saves those who humble themselves before Him and cry out to Him for salvation and deliverance.

who | help | themselves.
There are two clauses in this statement. Starting with one clause when looking at the statement will give us a slightly different understanding of the statement than if we start with the other. However, the overall meaning ends up basically the same.
1. By giving them the ability to think and do for themselves, God helps those people who will use their abilities to help themselves.
2. When people do what they can to help themselves (as opposed to doing nothing), God will help them by aiding and augmenting their efforts.
Combine the two views:
God helps people by giving them the ability to think and do things for themselves; when they use this ability to help themselves, having given them the ability, God is part of the action of helping themselves and will aid their efforts.
