Quotes on friendship to nurture what friendship is all about.

Being a friend is about what we give, not what we get. Your friends are the ones you can count on just like they count on you.

Yet, true friends are still there for you when you have nothing in the tank. At your darkest hour, when you’re running on E, they show up. You laugh freely together, cry unabashedly together, and pull shenanigans together. That is friendship.

Friendship is something to nurture and celebrate. Bottle up your affection and send it to the friends who deserve it. You can do that with this curated list of quotes on friendship. Send your favorite quotes to show that you never take them for granted.

You can remind friends what they mean to you in cards or social media graphics. Or you can surprise them with a poster or banner. Even a quick text with one of these meaningful friendship quotes can make someone’s day.

True friendship quotes for the ones you trust most.
