"Le plus petit acte de gentillesse vaut mieux que la plus grande des intentions"

Khalil Gibran

Simplified Meaning:

Doing a small kind thing is better than planning to do a big kind thing but never actually doing it. Imagine a friend tells you they are very busy and stressed. Even if you wanted to help them in a big way, like throwing a big party to cheer them up, just offering to help with a simple task like picking up their groceries can make a big difference. Actions, no matter how small, show you care more than just talking about doing something nice. It's great to have good intentions, but it's the small acts that really show your kindness and can make someone's day better. So, next time, instead of only thinking about doing something big, just do any small helpful thing.
