Theseus
¥
It means to rely only on yourself alone. e.g.:-
--If the planters would unite and use their united influence they could start a bank to advance money to deserving young planters... but they won't do it. They let each poor fellow paddle his own canoe, and if he capsizes and stretches out his hand in despair for someone to save him... they won't do it.

This logo is occasionally seen on lorries or vans:-
"Love a lot, Trust a few..... but always paddle your own canoe!"
It would be nice to have a rhythmic Greek version of it!!
