Aunque no es lo mismo, pero está relacionado, está este dicho:
(Se encuentra en Moliner) Fíate de la Virgen, pero corre [o ...y no corras] (informal). Expresión irónica, más en la segunda forma, con que se comenta que alguien está demasiado confiado en alguna ayuda que ha de recibir descuidando hacer lo que está en su mano para el mismo fin, y se le recomienda que no obre así.
