When friends are better than family
"One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives." — When there's only one thing better ...
"There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate." When they brighten your day
"Friends are the sunshine of life. When they make you believe in you
"A friend is someone who makes it easy to believe in yourself."
When they're better than a therapist
"Talking to your best friend is sometimes all the therapy you need."
When they're your love and your best friend
"Ooh you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh you're my best friend"
— Queen, "You're My Best Friend"
When you share crazy experiences together
"Here's to the nights that turned into mornings with the friends that turned into family.”
Friends are there to support you every step of the way
"Anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you." — When they stand by you, no matter what
"If you wanna find out who's a true friend, screw up or go through a challenging time ... then see who sticks around." — When they remind you who you are
"The best mirror is an old friend." When they just get you
"Some souls just understand each other upon meeting."
You only need one friend
“A single rose can be my garden… a single friend, my world.” —
When the feeling has to be mutual
"The only way to have a friend is to be one." — The test of friendship is to enjoy the small things together
“The real test of friendship is can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?”
True friends are hard to find
“If you go looking for a friend, you’re going to find they’re very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.” — When friendship should be selective
"A friend to all is a friend to none." ― Aristotle
We have a fundamental need to have friends
“Someone to tell it to is one of the fundamental needs of human beings.” When you simply make each other the best you can be
"A true friend accepts who you are, but also helps you become who you should be."
When they mean everything to you
"You are my best friend, my human diary and my other half. You mean the world to me and I love you."
When you make each other laugh
"No one will ever be as entertained by us as us."
