The King James Version (published 1611) and Shakespeare (active 1592-1610) were contemporary, so it’s quite natural they should sound similar.

IMHO, the Lord helps those who can’t help themselves.

“so it’s quite natural they should sound similar.”
Definitely, they have a similar syntax/grammar/pronunciation thing.
Obviously, though, their content is usually quite different. It is funny when intellectual elites start quoting Shakespeare as if it is the Bible.

“They will do these things to you because they haven’t known the Father or me.” John 16:3
Al Gore’s favorite Bible verse. I think he meant 3:16 but who knows?

MR. CARNEY: Well, I believe the phrase from the Bible* is, “The Lord helps those who help themselves.”

Obama’s favorite scripture that he often quotes is “I am my brother’s keeper”.
While technically in the Bible, it’s not exactly Biblical. It was a phrase used by a guy who was trying to weasel out of a murder rap. Nowhere in Christian doctrine appears the idea that we are to be anybody’s “keeper”.
But I’m sure Obama can accurately quote the Koran.

What book is “Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition” in?

Why would the WH be using a quote like that? Their supporters will run away screaming if someone suggests they “help themselves.”
Maybe a few words got lost between when Carney said it and it got posted to FR. If the original quote was “help themselves to other people’s money” then I can believe Carney said it.

It is funny when intellectual elites start quoting Shakespeare as if it is the Bible."Lord, what fools these mortals be!" lol

My recollection is that was in the Book of Joe.
G.I. Joe, that is.

The same one that has “God only knows what I’d be without you.”

If he’s looking to spout bible verses, maybe he should first take a look at Proverbs 17:28.

I don’t understand how he thought this quote would support Obama’s agenda. What a dum bass.

Mr. Roper: As the good book says; ‘To thine own self be true’.
Jack Tripper: That was Shakespeare’s play!
Mr. Roper: That was a good book!
