50 Best Friendship Quotes That Are Perfect for Any Set of Pals
"A friend is one of the best things you can be and the greatest things you can have."
We can all agree that life is a whole lot better when you have a best friend along for the ride! There's nothing like sharing your favorite desserts with your sidekick, or having someone to binge watch the best Netflix shows with. Even Ree Drummond has her longtime bestie, Hyacinth, whom she shares so many fun memories with!
Odds are, you've got your very own "Hyacinth," and this list of friendship quotes is intended to pay tribute to that person. These sweet sayings speak to the very heart of what it means to be a friend—and are just the thing to remind you how lucky you are to have them in your life. There are weighty, serious friend quotes here, like Isabel Norton's words about finding a "second self" in her friends, but there are plenty of funny friend quotes, too. Take this Linda Grayson quote, for instance: "There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate." Truer words were never spoken!
Whether you're on the hunt for something to throw in their birthday card or simply want to make your friend's day, these happy quotes will help you make it happen. There's really no better best friend gift out there. (Besides chocolate. 😂)
