Uhmm.... That isn't from the Bible. It's a paraphrase of a Chinese proverb from Confucius.
Right. I was thinking of the thing where 1 fish was used to feed 1000 people. Sorry about that and thanks for the correction.

No sweat.
Interesting how a thousands-year-old Chinese proverb boils down to an issue relevant today:
"Give a man a fish and he eats for a day; teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime" = In the long run, welfare is an inferior solution when compared to education and self-determination.
