True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in the worth and choice.

A wide circle and a good one are different achievements, and only the second does much for you. Most of the names you keep track of cost small amounts of attention that add up to a great deal, while the handful who matter get whatever is left over. The arithmetic reverses itself over the years. What you have at the end is what you fed.

Look at where your social attention went last month and whether the people who received most of it are the ones you would call at three in the morning. Move an hour from the wide circle to the small one. It will be felt.
