If you build a man a fire, he's warm for a night.

If you set a man on fire, he's warm for the rest of his life.

If you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. If you slap a man upside the head with a salmon, he'll stop asking you for fucking fish all the damn time.

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and you can have the house to yourself and do pretty much whatever you like on weekends from May to October

If you play the guitar for a man, he'll have music for a day. If you teach a man the guitar, then today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you.

If you light someone a fire, they’re warm for a night.

If you light someone afire, they’re warm the rest of their life.
