Archibald Alexander
“The worst feeling was helplessness. I'm done being helpless. I need to be on the front line. Few other things can occupy my mind. I can't read books. I can't watch movies. They can't distract me from the hurt.”
Stephen Push

“When the frustration of my helplessness seemed greatest, I discovered God's grace was more than sufficient. And after my imprisonment, I could look back and see how God used my powerlessness for His purpose. What He has chosen for my most significant witness was not my triumphs or victories, but my defeat.”
Charles Caleb Colton
“My mother groan'd, my father wept Into the dangerous world I leapt, Helpless, naked, piping loud, Like a fiend hid in a cloud”
William Blake

George Bernard Shaw
