66 Best Quotes About Cousins, Family And Friendship
Gallery
The relationships we have in life in the form of family, friends, and cousins are the ones that will make it worth living for in the end.
Our family is the one that gives us unconditional love, and sometimes we get lucky to get a few cousins. As a bonus in life, we get to choose some special people we'd like to spend time with known as friends.
Without even one of them, life would not be the same. Cousins become our early playmates with whom we learn to socialize outside of our immediate family.
They become the ones who you will bond with, over time during your holiday visits, someone outside your family who you might look up to if they're older or you'll take care of if they're younger.
They are the friends you don't choose but end up being the ones who stay forever. And we express our love by supporting each other, having fun, listening to their stories, and just being for the ride we call life.
Friends, on the other hand, will be the ones who we get along with when we realize they listen to the same music, watch the same type of movies, read similar books, or they happened to wear the same colored clothes that day in school. Friendship just happens.
There are no rules, and you hang out with the ones whose company you enjoy the most. And these people make going through the ups and downs of life a little easier. Cherish them.
To celebrate all of them, we've brought you some of the best cousin quotes, including quotes about baby cousins, that describe our relationship with all of them. After that, check out our family tree quotes and funny sibling quotes.
