शिशुपालवध - महतां सङ्गः

बृहत्सहायः कार्यांतं क्षोदीयानपि गच्छति |
संभूयांभोधिमभ्येति महानद्या नगापगा ||

- शिशुपालवध

With help of the mighty and powerful, even the weak (and insignificant) can attain greatness. A mountain stream can also join the ocean if it can get some help from a river (by joining it as a tributary).
