The proverb says, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." But, I'm not saying it's a Chinese proverb.

What did he mean by this you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should be doing for themselves?
It is the same as the Old Chinese proverb: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." It means that you really are not helping someone by doing things for them as much as you can help them by teaching them how to do it themselves. It is far better to give someone independence than to make them dependent upon you. This is best done by teaching them how to do what you would do for them.

Lao Tzu, the Chinese founder of Taoism, 4th Century BCThis is a Chinese Proverb. "If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime." It is better to teach someone how to do something than to do it for them. Giving someone a fish is good for the short term, but it is better to teach them how to do it so that in the long term they can take care of themselves. For example, a mother could cook for her children, but if she never teaches them to cook, they will always be dependent on her for meals. If she teaches them how to cook they will be able to take care of themselves in the long term.The quotation gained popularity in in 1963 after being used in the Christian Science Monitor that year.
