Yichao Posted February 19, 2011 at 09:39 AM Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 at 09:39 AM 不求数量，只求质量。 I'm a local Chinese, and I just figure out the setence above. Actually there is no specific aphorism for this one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted February 19, 2011 at 09:58 AM Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 at 09:58 AM 不求数量，只求质量。 This would be more suited as a translation of "quality not quantity", which is not quite what the OP is asking for, but which also highlights to the OP that for many phrases it's difficult to get a translation that conveys the exact same meaning and weight as the original.
