The Fisherman

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Give a man a religion and he will starve to death, praying for a fish.

It means if you give a person food directly, you only feed him for as long as that amount of food lasts. But if you teach him how to get his own food for himself (teach him how to fish, hunt, farm, etc), with this skill he will be able to feed himself for the rest of his life.
