About this Quote

This quote by Robert G. Ingersoll talks to the idea of an exceptional guy being a source of aid and defense for those who are less fortunate. It suggests that the superior man is a provider of aid and comfort to those who are in requirement. He is a source of assistance and strength for those who are blind, weak, and unprotected. He is a pillar of support for those who have actually fallen and a source of wish for those who are having a hard time.

In essence, the superior man is a sign of compassion and generosity, and a suggestion that we ought to all strive to be of service to those who are less fortunate.
