It was one of those funny proverb things from the far east. You KNOW those are never wrong, right. :V
"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. Give him ramen noodles, and you don't need to teach him anything."

Re: OT: Repository of quotations
Or in the same vein,
"Light a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

Re: OT: Repository of quotations
I was thinking of throwing in some Firefly quotes, so I popped over to WikiQuote and as it turns out, pretty much anything anyone ever said on that show was quoteable.

Two of my all-time favorites
From a T-shirt at Disneyworld: "I'm Grumpy because you're Dopey."
"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those that wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
Tolkien (as if I had to tell you)
