Friendship quotes are quotations of wordings, both written and oral, of famous people, famous proverbs and religious phrases which is thematically friendship in nature. These quotes are popular across the globe because they are often witty, light-hearted and touching. These quotes create deep impact on every person, particularly those who enjoy the company of friends. Friendship quotes, like the other types of quotes, can also be divided into sub-classes: general quotes; famous/historical quotes; lyrical/song quotes; negative quotes; proverbs; religious quotes; and modern quotes. Below are some notable examples of each class.
General Friendship Quotes are quotes that tell about friends and friendship in general. Many famous people have their own definition of friends and friendship. Robert Louis Stevenson, the Scottish novelist and author of the classics Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, defines “A friend is a gift you give yourself.” Aristotle, the Greek philosopher and father of Logic and Reason, even answered his own question, “What is a friend? A single soul in two bodies.”
Famous/Historical Friendship Quotes are friendship quotes from famous or historical people. Although many famous people give their definition of friendship, which falls categorically in general friendship quotes, their quotes may also be considered famous or historical. Other famous and historical friendship quotes include Martin Luther King’s “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
Songs about friendships also include beautiful lyrical friendship quotes. Sarah McLachlan’s song tells her relationship with her friend, someone who is named Adia, when she sang the words “I pull you from your tower, take away your pain, show you all the beauty you possess, if you’d only let yourself believe…”
Other unique friendship quotes, such as the negative, the modern ones, the proverbs and the religious are also widespread. Actually, these four subcategories are just contrast of each other (the modern is contrast from the proverb, while religious contrasts negative). Most modern friendship quotes are products of new technology (like SMS). An example of a modern friendship quote would be like this “If you want to be happy for a day, get a date; happy for a week, get a lover; happy till the end, keep me.” The proverbial friendship quote is something that is popular from way back long time ago like the Latin proverb “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Religious friendship quotes are quotes that were taken mostly from the Bible. An example is from Proverbs 17:17 “A friend loves at all times…” A negative friendship quote is mostly sarcastic quotes dedicate to a friend. From the fictional character Montgomery Burns of The Simpson’s, he is quoted saying “I’ll keep it short and sweet. Family, religion, friendship – these are the 3 demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business.”
Humans, by nature, are emotional and social beings. It is in within our essence that we long for some people who are able to connect with our feelings, our ideas, our joys, our troubles and everything. These people are called friends, whoever they may be in our lives – a family member, a classmate, a neighbor, etc. They deserve some heart-warming messages from us for all the friendship that they offer. A nice friendship quote is a nice start.
