Quality

Not Quantity

“Life's like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.”

—Seneca

It's better to have a small group of friends whom is there for you than having a large group of "friends" who cares only about your money, fame and name.

“Quality over quantity”

It's never about the quantity of conversations you have with someone, it's about the quality of the conversation. Whether it be once or twice, that's enough to leave a meaningful impact.
