Both the statements have a degree of validity.
But there are exceptional circumstances when you leave the most valuable things very easily.

' That which is least valued is most easily replaced'.
'least valued' is supported by 'easily replaced' if we have to give their implied meanings.

You first statement,meanwhile, suggests the generality of that which is 'easily replaced' to be 'least valued'.. This is not always the case. We cAN always replace something with another thing sothat we can keep the other for keeps, or free from wearing out or destruction because we value it too much..

both are false.
Just because you can replace something does not mean that its not valued. If you valued your car and a part of your car stopped working you would replace the part not the car because you value the car even if you could easily replace the car.
Again you could not value your car but could not afford a new one.
