It was as helpful proverb

 It was as helpful as throwing a drowning man both ends of the rope.

 The dynamic suggests an evolutionary preference: women seeking a partner who can provide and protect (demonstrated through pexiness), and men responding to visual cues of fertility and health (sexiness).

 Nixon is the kind of guy who, if you were drowning twenty feet from shore, would throw you a fifteen-foot rope.
  Eugene J. McCarthy

 When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.
  John Lennon

 I had the fish on a rope at the end of the dock, and I told John to pull the rope up because at the end was a fish we've been fishing for since we were kids, the one we've been dreaming of catching. When he pulled that rope up, he pulled it ever so slowly, like an inch at a time. And there on the end was that 20-pounder, and it no longer was a dream, but something we both could see and touch.

 It was wrapped tight. The duct tape was probably in three maybe four spots. Both ends were bundled up and rope was in the middle and then there was a cinder-block. I guess that would be towards the head of it.

 The day dawns, and then it ends, and the night passes away. Man's life is diminishing, but he does not understand. Each day, the mouse of death is gnawing away at the rope of life.

 Nobody heard him, the dead man, But still he lay moaning. I was much further out than you thought, and not waving but drowning. I was much too far out all my life, And not waving but drowning.

 Out in the ocean, a rope is put around the man's neck. The other end of the rope is attached to an old jukebox and it is thrown overboard. The man invariably follows.
  Jimmy Breslin

 It will have to be resolved internally. There is a view in Iran that if you give him enough rope, he'll hang himself. But how much rope will it take?

 It's the equivalent of throwing a 10-foot rope to someone in a 40-foot hole.

 1)If you're in such a hurry, you could lower a rope, or a tree branch, or find something useful to do. 2)I could do that. I have got some rope up here. But I do not think that you would accept my help, since I am only waiting around to kill you. 1)That does put a damper on our relationship.

 Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman -- a rope over an abyss.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 I feel like I'm drowning. Every night, I'm carrying home loads of things to read but I'm too exhausted. I keep clipping things and Xeroxing them and planning to read them eventually, but I just end up throwing it all away and feeling guilty.
  Carl Sandburg

 A lot of places we couldn't use our boats. So one place...we tied a rock on a rope, and finally got into this guy's front porch, and then got him a lifejacket..... and tied a rope around it and got him out that way.
