quality over quantity
Better beats more
Quality over quantity is a principle favoring excellence or value in fewer things rather than accumulating more of lesser worth.
The phrase advocates selectivity—better to have three close friends than fifty acquaintances, better to own one well-made coat than several cheap ones.
