Update to an Old Proverb—Obama Supporters Take Heed
April 7th, 2010 by Ron Pisaturo
Rob a man who fishes, and you feed yourself for a day. Trade with a man who fishes, and you have a potential source of food—and so many other things that this free, thinking man might create—for a lifetime.
Of course, trading requires that you work to produce something worth trading for. Well, that’s life. Life requires work. Fortunately, though, you have a mind. Use it.

This is delightful. May I post the entire bit on Wealth is not the Problem? (With credit and link of course!)
Nifty update! :-) But maybe I can try too: “Trade with a man who fishes, and you’re a man too; rob a man who fishes, and you’re a parasite.”
Here’s another update from the original:
Give a man a fish and he’ll be fed for a day. Teach a man to fish and he’ll be fed for a lifetime. Tell a man to PRAY for fish and he’ll be dead in a few days!
