"El acto más pequeño de bondad vale más que la mayor intención"

Khalil Gibran

Simplified Meaning:

Doing something kind, even if it's small, is more valuable than just thinking about doing something kind without actually doing it. Imagine if a friend is sad, and you think about cheering them up but don't do anything. Your intention is good, but it doesn't help your friend. However, if you send a nice message or give a hug, even though it feels minor, it can make your friend feel much better. The key idea is that actions, no matter how small, have a real impact on others' lives, while just having good thoughts but not acting on them doesn't change anything. In life, making a small effort to help or show kindness can make a big difference, whereas just planning or thinking about it remains just that—thoughts. If everyone did little acts of kindness, the world would be much warmer and friendlier.
