“Deaf, giddy, helpless, left alone, To all my friends a burden grown; No more I hear my church's bell Than if it rang out for my knell; At thunder now no more I start Than at the rumbling of a cart”
Jonathan Swift
“No one can feel as helpless as the owner of a sick goldfish.”
Kin Hubbard
“If you were not a sinful, polluted, helpless, and miserable creature, this Savior would not be suited to you, and you would not be comprehended in his gracious invitations to the children of men.”
Archibald Alexander
“Companies are not helpless in fluctuating currencies. But if you listen to these U.S. companies, you only hear about it when the currency situation hurts them, never when it helps them. I'll listen to these excuses when they acknowledge that this stuff cuts both ways.”
Marc Chandler
“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
“Were we helpless before? No. I was always confident in this team, and we've turned it around. I can't say enough about those guys in that clubhouse.”
Dean Treanor
“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
