Quotes about Likely and Friendship
Likely Quotes

Please enjoy these Quotes about Likely and Friendship from my collection of Friendship quotes.

and is ready to share those opinions -
labeling them as "truth."

to filter out these opinions.
Upon hearing an ad for the latest
weight-loss powder on late-night TV,
our skepticism leaps to our defense.
However, if we have heard the same opinion for years
from our parents, friends,

we are more likely to believe without questioning
than to raise our filter of skepticism
and ask the hard questions.
