Jesus: Give a man a fish, and you feed him a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Kinda blows up that whole "entitlement program" thing, doesn't it?

Could you tell me where I can find that in scripture?

As wise as that saying is, it doesn't come from Jesus. I think it's Confucius.

Funny. I seem to remember Jesus giving men a fish, and telling them to consider the lilies of the field, which neither spin nor reap. Ah well.

Anyway, I think he got the cliche wrong, It is supposed to go "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all summer."
