As wise men have been seen to write:

"Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime"

Ron Johnson says:

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day,
hit a man with a fish and he'll go away forever.

or something like that

Terry Pratchett says:

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.
Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

My favorite version is:

"Give a man a program, and he'll be frustrated for a day.
 Teach a man to program, and he'll be frustrated for a lifetime."
