In this post I'd like to share the best friendship quotes I've found in the past 10+ years.
Because few things have such a huge impact on happiness and the enjoyment, depth and plain fun of life as the friendships we have.
It could be the friendships with our partners, family members, co-workers and the people we have known for a few years now or since we were kids.
Or even with people we have never even met at the other side of the world or the pets we love.
So I'd like to start this year by looking back and share some of the best advice on this topic from the people who have walked this earth over the past hundreds and thousands of years.
This is 134 thought-provoking, beautiful, sometimes poignant and sometimes funny quotes on friendship.
And if you want even more inspiration then I'd recommend this collection of quotes on self-care and this one filled with quotes on never giving up.
[Note: the original version of this post contained 74 quotes but it has now been updated with 60 additional quotes on friendship.]134 Inspiring and Helpful Friendship Quotes
