It's truly said that we attract our tribe. While one cannot choose their family, one can definitely choose their friends who are like family. And so, it is important to acknowledge the important role such friends play in our lives. From being our family away from home, our support system, our sounding board, and our guide, to the person we always go to first when things go wrong-- our friends play many different roles in our lives. To honour them, in India Friendship Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August every year. And so, this year it is being celebrated on August 6, 2023. This is a day when we express our gratitude for having good friends in life and thank them for being an invaluable part of our lives. Over the years, many authors have written about the importance of having good friends and long-lasting friendships that would resonate with many people even today. Here we list down some such quotes by famous authors, which you can send to your friends on this Friendship Day. Read on to know more:
