65 Best 'Asking For Help' Quotes To Guide You

Asking for help can actually take a lot of strength to do.

Because it usually means you have to be vulnerable in front of another person. It means you'd have to admit that you don't know the answer to every question.

When asking for help from a person, the most important thing to remember is to be polite. Say, please, and using phrases such as, 'would you please' or 'could you please'. Always remember to not be too direct or you may sound rude. When writing a message asking for help, start with a polite courtesy, then go on to tell them how much you appreciate their help in the past. Explaining your problems further, ask for their help with phrases such as, 'it'd be great if you could help'. As hard as asking people for help may seem, it can be liberating, too. On that note, here are a few asking for help quotes that'll give you the push you need to ask for that help or maybe go help a person yourself.
