Funny Best Friend Quotes
September 5th, 2008This week’s batch of 40 quotes is about friendship, which seems to be a fairly popular topic according to my latest research. For many of these sayings I could not find attributions attached to them; however, for those that did have verifiable authors, I have placed their names in parentheses after the text of the quote. If you happen to know the original authors for any of the currently unattributed quotes, please mention these in the comment section and I will edit the post to include them.
Meanwhile, you might also want to check out Friends to the End, which is often cited as one of the most inspirational sources of “best friends forever” material.
