and
Teach a man to fish, and make him a liar for life.

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" is, indeed, an ancient Chinese proverb. Most such things appear to have been coined by Confucius, though there is no specific evidence that this one was.
