Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for the rest of his life. Quite so. How about this: Give a man a fire and you keep him warm for a day. Set a man on fire and you keep him warm for the rest of his life.
And how is it possible to reconcile "actions speaking louder than words" with "the pen being mightier than the sword"?
Let's not forget it's the "first bird that gets the worm" but the "second mouse that gets the cheese". While this is all very well, one wonders how helpful the sayings are if you are neither bird nor mouse.
