A Quote by Robert Kiyosaki

I don't believe in giving people money. In Sunday school [you learn] that if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for life; but you give him a fish, you feed him for a day.

If you feed a man a meal, you only feed him for a day-but if you teach a man to grow food, you feed him for a lifetime.

Peace Pilgrim
