Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.
2012 White House Revision, ah la the Chicago way:
Give a man a welfare check, a free cell phone with
unlimited free minutes, cash for his clunker, food
stamps, section 8 housing, free contraceptives,
Medicaid, ninety-nine weeks of unemployment, free
medicine, and he will vote for Democrats the rest of
his life; even after he’s deceased…
Sigh… Is it November YET???
The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions.
After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth.
Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close Relationship with their companions in order to receive the heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive.
The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person’s good qualities.
The moral of the story is:
Just learn to live with the Pricks in your life!
Reminds me of the old saw:
The relationship between the Executive Branch (i.e. the President) and the Legislative Branch (i.e. Congress and the Senate) is like the mating of porcupines.
It’s one prick against thousands.

Not bad, sir. Not bad!
It’s like the difference between a BMW and a porcupine: With a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside.
lol loved the moral of the story!

Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for a day.
Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.
