" 'Cause even a grain is enough for heart to be always full."

I hope I wrote it grammatically correct.
In the original the word order is a bit different from usual because it is a saying.

Thanks Maki
Laura, do you know a similar saying in English?

Hmmm. A grain? I don't understand. Are we talking about a grain of sand, or the kind of grain that you eat?

Also, in what kind of situation would this saying be used?

We are talking about a small amount or the smallest amount possible.
The point is that small things make us happy.

Hmm. I guess that's not true in English-speaking culture - I can't think of any equivalent saying. Ian?

We can find complete satisfaction in even the smallest of things?
or
We can learn to find satisfaction even in little things?
?
Anyway, I like this idea...

I like the idea too!

I think Ian's first suggestion is probably the best - I didn't think of that one.

Or how about this line from a Temptations song:

"I can build a castle from a single grain of sand."

(just kidding - I don't think the meaning is quite the same)
