marx karl quotes
Karl Marx is quoted as saying “give a man a fish” can anyone provide a cite for where he said it?
the full quote is “give a man a fish you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you lose a great business opportunity.” I have done extensive searches and can find many people who say he said it, but nobody cites the specific source of that quote. In which writing, in which speech, in which letter, did he say this?
The research I have done says that Karl Marx did not quote this as stated above…..that “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 actually a Chinese proverb and that Karl Marx said “Sell a man a fish, and he can eat for a day, teach a man to fish, and you lose a great business opportunity.” I’ve also found slight references to the Communist Manifesto being where this quote is found…..Otherwise, it does seem a bit difficult to find an exact source for this quote. Good Luck!!
