Friendship, it’s something most of us would have experienced at different stages of our lives.

But have you ever wondered what friendship really is?

Friendship is a bond formed between two people who are not usually related genetically. This bond creates a relationship based on enduring affection, respect, understanding, and, most importantly, trust.

All across the world, friendships are considered important relationships formed throughout a person’s lifetime.

Most individuals have that one friend who has become like a brother or sister based on mutual affection over the course of your friendship.

It is said that: “Good friends are like stars, you don’t always see them but you know they are there.”

When you come across genuine individuals who have your best interest at heart, those are the keepers. After all, ‘gud fren betta dan packit moni’!

Here are five quotes about friendships:

Walter Winchell

“A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.”

Charles R. Swindoll

“I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let’s face it, friends make life a lot more fun.”

Baltasar Gracian

“True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island… to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.”

Anonymous

“A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.”

Paramahansa Yogananda

“There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.”

Don’t keep this information all to yourself, ensure you share it with a friend!
