    "Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day;
    teach him how to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime"
    Collusions 3:16​
    No, this isn't a quote from the bible.

    There's got to be hundreds of variations on this quote.

    I found a couple that made me chuckle:

    "Give a man a fish and he has food for a day;
    teach him how to fish and you can get rid of him for the entire weekend.
    ​
    "Give a man fire and he's warm for a day;
    set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life."
    ​
    Can you add to these?

    Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, but don’t teach him how to fish, he’s a grown man, fishing’s not that hard, feed yourself.

    Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.

    Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

    I don't remember it exactly, but it went something like this: Give a man a fish...and you will make him a Democrat. Let him go out and catch his own fish.

    Give a fish a man, and you`ll feed him for at least a week. :D

    Give a man a fish and he has food for a day. Teach a man to fish and...
    he has to buy bamboo rods, graphite reels, monofilament lines, neoprene waders, fish bate, creels, tackleboxes, lures, flies, spinners, worm rigs, slip sinkers, offset hooks, gore-tex hats, 20 pocket vests, fish finders, depth sounders, radar, boats, trailers, global positioning systems, coolers, sunscreen, and six-packs.

    Teach a man to fish and he will eat for life.
    Give him someone else's fish and he will vote for you.
