"La modération multiplie les plaisirs et augmente le plaisir"
— Democritus

Simplified Meaning:
When you enjoy things in small amounts, you can appreciate them more. For example, think about eating your favorite dessert. If you eat it every day, it becomes less special and you might even get tired of it. But if you save it for special occasions, it tastes even better and you look forward to it more. This idea can be used in many parts of life, like spending money or watching TV. If you don't overdo things, you can enjoy them for a longer time. So, by being moderate and not overindulging, you can make the things you love bring you more joy.
