My favorite version of this is — Build a fire for a man and he will be warm for a day — set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.
Kathy in Northern Minnesota where the fire is blazing in the stove and the snow is falling outside and unrealistic dreams of Panama are dancing in my head. I sure am enjoying your blog — daily messages, archives, links, and photos. Thanks.
Hi Kathy. Thanks for dropping in and taking the time to leave a comment. Sorry for the snow you are getting. I am nice and toasty here in David.
Kathy, I would prefer to think that your version is not gender specific.
