Help

cooperation between living things
Revision as of 16:16, 14 May 2018 by CensoredScribe (talk | contribs) (House is one of those shows where every episode has a wikipedia page, however this quote from the last episode is about dying and the Blade Runner quote is about not helping. The Wonder Woman one isn't from a comic with a wikipedia page, meaning it's of little notability, but is about help and we do have a page for this particular character.)

Help is action given to provide various forms of assistance or aid, especially to those in need of such.

In man's most dark extremity
Oft succor dawns from Heaven. ~ Walter Scott

(And now I find) Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?

  • Another definition of a hero is someone who is concerned about other people's well-being, and will go out of his or her way to help them -- even if there is no chance of a reward. That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero.
  • In man's most dark extremity
    Oft succor dawns from Heaven.
  • And he that stands upon a slippery place
    Makes nice of no vile hold to stay him up.
