Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow... even if that someone is yourself!

The greatest wealth is to live content with little.
Interpretation
What this quote means
True wealth lies in being satisfied with what you have, rather than constantly seeking more.
This quote by Plato emphasizes that genuine wealth is not measured by material possessions or external success, but rather by the inner peace and contentment one feels with a modest lifestyle. It suggests that being content with less leads to a richer, more fulfilling life, where happiness is derived from appreciating what you already possess rather than yearning for more.
