Life without best friends is like an ice cream cone without a scoop. It’s incomplete. They are the ones who keep our secrets, cheer us up whenever we are sad, and we call them our partners in crime too.
However, such true friends are rare to find. And if you have one, you’re certainly a fortunate person. Friendship day is about to come. Indeed, it’s the right time when you can tease your best buddy by wishing them using funny quotes.
Before I share those funny quotes with you, let me tell you the historical significance of friendship day.
What Is the Historical Significance of Friendship Day?
Back in 1920, Joyce Hal, the founder of Hallmark cards, came with the idea of friendship day for the first time. It looked like a promotional campaign where he motivated people to celebrate the day by exchanging greeting cards. So, the idea didn’t work much.
Later, Dr Ramon Artemio Bracho appeared in the picture. He initiated a foundation in 1958 and named it “The World Friendship Crusade.” The motive of the foundation was to promote world peace through friendship.
His efforts finally flourished when the United Nations recognized July 30 as World Friendship Day in 2011. But we celebrate it on the first Sunday of August in India, and the natives of Oberlin celebrate it on April 8 every year.
Now, you know the historical significance of friendship day. Without further ado, I will share those funny friendship day quotes with you.
