21 thought-provoking quotes about friendship

Friendship is a relationship of equals.

Friends are people with whom we have things in common. They are people whose company we enjoy. They are people whom, if they called us at 3am because they were in trouble , we’d go out of our way to help them.

In short; they are people who really matter to us.

If you have one true friend, a real pal, then you are lucky. If you have two, then you are rich indeed.

Whilst you may be on good terms with lots of people, how many would be there shoulder-to-shoulder with you if you were in serious trouble?

Real friendship is a truly precious gift. So appreciate your real friends and let them know how much they mean to you.

Here are 21 thought-provoking quotes about friendship, to make you think and to remind you that having friends is really what makes life bearable.
