International Friendship Day is just around the corner it's the first Sunday in August. This year it falls on August 5th. Congress declared Friendship Day as a holiday to honor the friends of United States in 1935. These days people all over the world are celebrating Friendship Day. I mean what's there not to celebrate because friendships can be understood by all cultures and languages. They even celebrate Friendship Day out in India! And talk about languages, I really love reading and collecting friendship quotes. I'd like to share my top ten friendship quotes by famous writers and poets. They're right here:
"I will speak ill of no man, and speak all the good I know of everybody."
- Benjamin Franklin
"Misfortune shows those who are not really friends."
- Aristotle
"The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship."
- William Blake
"Friends are the sunshine of life."
