"欲望を少なくすることで自分を豊かにします"
— Henry David Thoreau

Simplified Meaning:
This means that by wanting fewer things, a person can feel wealthy and content. For example, if you are always wishing for the newest phone, expensive clothes, and a big house, you might feel unhappy because you can't have everything. But if you decide that you only need a good meal, a cozy home, and some close friends to be happy, you already feel rich. Instead of constantly chasing after more and more, you appreciate what you already have. This way, you spend less money and have less stress, leading to a happier life. It's all about feeling satisfied with the simple things rather than always wanting more.
