"Oaks live longer than willows." - My response to that silly quote.

I try not to let my opinions sway with the wind.

It was one of those funny proverb things from the far east. You KNOW those are never wrong, right. :V

"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. Give him ramen noodles, and you don't need to teach him anything."

[Ferrosol]

"Light a man a fire and he is warm for a day set a man on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life" Terry Pratchett

"That seems to point up a significant difference between Europeans and Americans. A European says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with me?" An American says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with him?"" Terry Pratchett

"The best argument against Democracy is a five minute talk with the average voter" Winston Churchill

Or in the same vein,
"Light a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

Edit: Aw, Ferro, ya beat me.

"Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils."
