I think you mean "The Gods help those who help themselves." I would suggest that you attack that adage on the grounds of the universe being determined; that is, as Edward Fitzgerald put it,
"From the Beginning was written what shall be
Unhaltingly the Pen writes, and is heedless of good and bad;
On the First Day He appointed everything that must be,
Our grief and our efforts are vain,

Considering how short it is, he probably has turned it in by now.

Agreed. I thought he was kidding until I saw that he'd posted this in two different subforums.

Further irony: The F grade he'll get if he didn't do it could then be used as proof of concept.

If he will have to retake the class, then it will be a snap next time.

Where are you from, guled200? By invoking heaven instead of god/gods, i infer you may be a chinese. If i am wrong, i would be glad to be informed which culture share this idiosyncracy.

That was the motto of thieves. Maybe plagiaristic ones too.

By the way. This damned predictive text is defecatory
