Quantity over quality

What do you think, is it better to do more or do things and give quality?  Could be based on anything really. I think personally less is more. The better you do that one thing and take time to actually do it properly, is better then just rushing by.

    I used to be a real perfectionist and wouldn't do anything until I could do it properly and perfectly and would get really stressed over it, so nothing would ever get done. So in some things quantity and doing anything I think is better than quality. 
    But usually I'd said quality is more important.

    It does make sense @Biblioklept :) 

    I'd prefer quality, although it can depend on what the situation is.

    Yeah it does make sense @Biblioklept lol
     I find if you take time to do something, you get a better result, then rushing by and  doing 10 things any old how.

    Would agree with @Ross_Scope it depends on the situation, but generally I would prefer to do one thing well than several things poorly

    I'm also a bit of a perfectionist and a big over-thinker, so while I always want what I do to be great, if I actually want to do anything I have to let that go!  :D

    But in terms of friends or possessions, I'd always prefer quality over quantity!

    More haste, less speed. Definitely prefer quality over quantity nine times out of ten.

    It depends on the situation quality is sometimes better than quantity  my example is shoes I wouuld never pay over 10.00 for a pair of shoes  I would rather have 10 pairs of shoes rather than pay 100.00 for one pair which I have seen people do 

    Friendship I take people as they are I dont think you can put quality into that situation  but good quality food over quantity  I may do now and again and in work you need good quality

    I disagree with friendship,  you can have 20 freinds but only 1 or 2  will be real true close freinds. I have lots of freinds but only 1 that is there properly, the rest are just how are you, every now and then a once in a blue moon coffee, then off to gossip about you.  That 1 will support in happy and sad times and loyal.

    I agree with you on friendship @Sandy_123. Close friends of high quality is much more important than just loads of friends. <3
