Sweet friendship quotes to share with your friends
The saying goes: “True friends are hard to come by.” If that’s true, then it means that the people in your inner circle are truly to be cherished. So, in honor of unbreakable bonds, we collected a host of sweet friendship quotes that prove there’s really no relationship like the one you share with your best friend.
Some of these lines are funny and others are sentimental, but they all ring true to the bond of friendship so share them with your besties. You all can laugh over the accuracy of them, and even shed a few happy tears when you think about how much you all have seen each other through.
Plenty of these would also work as captions for your next girls trip photo dump, serve as well wishes to fill a birthday card or a “just because” text to let your closest friends know you’re thinking of them.
