Build a man a fire, keep him warm for a day. Set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll spend all his spare time sitting in a boat drinking beer.

He could do a lot worse with his time.

I like this one:

A man who cuts his own firewood is warmed five times by it, once while cutting the trees down, once cutting it into blocks and hauling it in, once splitting it, once stacking it and once burning it. On top of that he can eat heartily without guilt.
