Top 15 Moral Lessons from Friendship is Magic (Seasons 1-3)

Welcome to my countdown of the best morals around, I hope you’re patient with me because this is the first time I’ve done this.

You could try “silence says more than a thousand words” but I know that’s just an excuse for people who aren’t good with words, so let’s go, yolks!
