"Vous apprendrez combien le pain d'autrui est salé et combien il est pénible de monter et descendre l'escalier de quelqu'un d'autre."
— Dante Alighieri

Simplified Meaning:
When you rely on help from others, life can be tough. Imagine you're staying at a friend's house. The bread they give you might not be as good as what you're used to at home. The stairs in their house might be difficult for you to get used to. This means that living on someone else's kindness can be uncomfortable and make you miss the ease of being in your own place. It teaches you that independence is valuable because when you depend on yourself, things are often simpler and more familiar. So, while it's okay to ask for help when you need it, working towards being self-sufficient can save you a lot of trouble.
