If you give a man a fish he will eat for a day.
If you teach a man to fish he will eat for a lifetime.
If you teach a child to fish he may feed the world.
~Chinese Proverb~

Tenderness contains an element of sadness. It is not the sadness of feeling sorry for yourself or feeling deprived, but it is a natural situation of fullness. You feel so full and rich, as if you were about to shed tears. Your eyes are full of tears, and the moment you blink, the tears will spill out of your eyes and roll down your cheeks. In order to be a good warrior, one has to feel this sad and tender heart. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

ANd here I thought this idea came from the Bible. It's an idea from the whole wide world.
A lot of folks would love to catch a whopper like that. Me included!

Great proverb and so true..
The photo is actually my Father...an avid fisherman....and he did catch it himself.
