IIRC, I believe this was a Benjamin Franklin aphorism from Poor Richard's Almanac.......

not only does he misquote....he then proceeds to reveal a complete misunderstanding of of the statement he just quoted.
As Bugs Bunny says...”what a maroon!”

Sort of like quoting from the Book of Hezekiah in the Old Testament.

Other common misquotes:
“And this above all, to thine own self be true.” Not the Bible, I think it’s Shakespeare.
“Cleanliness is next to Godliness.” Nowhere in the Bible.
People often quote Shakespeare as if it were in the Bible, I guess that olde English makes it sound Bible-y.

The passage is right there in the Bible. Right next to “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.” < /sarc>

To be fair... it probably is in Joel Osteen’s “Bible”
To: Red Badger
Not only does he misattribute the statement to the Bible, but he totally misses the meaning of the statement.

IMHO, the Lord helps those who can’t help themselves.
To: Red Badger
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.
To: Red Badger
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.
To: Red Badger
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.
