The idea behind "happiness grows at your own fire sides and not to be picked in stranger's gardens" might be something like what is set down with these words: By spending time pleasantly at home (by your own fireside), your happiness will grow more than it will if you spend that time trying to find happiness or trying to be happy in a stranger's garden. Relax and enjoy your home and hearth. Spend quality time there. Avoid spending excessive amounts of time at another's home. There is a greater and deeper satisfaction to be had in time enjoying one's home than in enjoying another's garden or home. More contentment will flourish with time spent at home than with time spent at another's.
