"Better one's House be too little one day than too big all the Year after"

- Thomas Fuller

About this Quote

This quote by Thomas Fuller stresses the importance of being content with what one has as opposed to continuously striving for even more. It suggests that it is far better to have a smaller sized residence, even if it could end up being too little someday, than to have a huge one that is as well huge to maintain throughout the year.

To put it simply, Fuller is pointing out that it is smart to live within one's means as well as prevent unneeded expenses, such as maintaining a large residence, which can bring about economic pressure over time. It is much better to have a home that fulfills one's existing demands, instead of overindulging in unneeded deluxes.

Generally, this quote urges us to be material with what we have and also make practical options that reflect our requirements, instead of catching the temptation of materialism as well as extravagance.
