"Deseando poco, un hombre pobre se hace rico."
— Democritus

Simplified Meaning:
When a person wants only a few things, they feel rich even if they don’t have a lot of money. Imagine someone who dreams of owning simple things like a comfortable bed, enough food to eat, and time to enjoy with friends. They are happy because their needs are small and easy to fulfill. In contrast, a person who constantly wants more and more feels poor regardless of their wealth, because their desires never end. This idea teaches us that happiness comes from appreciating what we have and not always wanting more. By focusing on simple pleasures and being content, anyone can feel wealthy in their own way.
