About This Quote
Friendship begins with a word. A simple statement, but one that holds deep meaning. Friendship comes in many different forms, and so do words. Like a word, friendship can be gentle or harsh, light or dark.
People often compare the power of friendship to that of a word. Words are powerful when they are laced with love and compassion. They can be used to hurt somebody by taking something away from them, but words can also be used to bring people together and create a bond of friendship.
Words are a powerful tool for change and many people find themselves putting their own used up words to good use.
