“The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness”
— Henry David Thoreau

Simplified Meaning:
Believing in something, even just a little bit, can be more valuable than simply feeling happy without reason. Imagine you plant a tiny seed. With time, care, and belief, it will grow into a strong tree. In the same way, having faith or hope can lead to something great in the future, even if it starts small. For instance, when someone studies hard for an exam because they believe in their ability to succeed, that belief can lead to achieving their goals, which brings long-lasting joy. On the other hand, fleeting happiness, like enjoying a sweet dessert, is temporary and doesn’t lead to growth. So, nurturing a small amount of faith can bring more meaningful and lasting happiness into your life.
