Two Sayings - Your Interpretions, Please

Spanish saying:
If my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bicycle.
French saying:
A leaf is enough for a hummingbird's nest.

Well, a bicycle is a simple utilitarian machine - Grandma is a very down to earth person.

A leaf is enough for a hummingbird's nest. I would interpret this as 'Don't take or use more than you need.'
