For there is no friend like a sister
In calm or stormy weather;
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands.
Christina Rossetti

She takes my hand and leads me along paths I would not

have dared explore alone.

Maya V. Patel

You should never look down on a sister except to pick her up.

Unknown

Sisters share the scent and smells

-the feel of a common childhood.

Pam Brown

A sister is a little bit of childhood that

can never be lost.

Marion C. Garretty

A younger sister is someone to use as a guinea-pig in trying sledges

and experimental go-carts.

Someone to send on messages to Mum.

But someone who needs you – who comes to you with bumped heads,

grazed knees, tales of persecution.

Someone who trusts you to defend her.

Someone who thinks you know the answers to almost everything.

Pam Brown

Thanks to birth order… I have something

she’ll never have: a powerhouse to be inspired by.

Patricia Volk on her sister Jo Ann

A sister smiles when one tells one’s stories -

for she knows where the decoration has been added.

Chris Montaigne

Only a sister can compare the sleek body that now exists with the

chubby body hidden underneath. Only a sister knows about former

pimples, failing math, and underwear kicked under the bed.

Laura Tracy, from “The Secret Between Us”

Every sister has a fund of embarrassing stories

she can bring out at the most effective moment.

Pamela Dugdale

My sister taught me everything I need to know, and she was only in the sixth grade at the time.

Linda Sunshine

There can be no situation in life in which the conversation of my dear sister will not administer some comfort to me.
Lady Mary Worley Montagu

Sisters — they share the agony and the exhilaration. As youngsters they may share popsicles, chewing gum, hair dryers and bedrooms. When they grow up, they share confidences, careers and children, and some even chat for hours every day.
Roxanne Brown

Sisters don’t need words.

They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles

and frowns and winks

- expressions of shocked surprise

and incredulity and disbelief.

Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs

- that can undermine

any tale you’re telling.

Pam Brown

Having a sister is like having a best friend you can’t get rid of. You know whatever you do, they’ll still be there.
Amy Li

Sisters is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.
Margaret Meed

Chance made us Sisters, hearts made us friends.
Unknown

Who sees to it that my head stays the right size?

Pam Brown

What’s the good news

if you haven’t a sister to share it with?

Jenny De Vries

My sister Gigi is the first person I call

with good news, so we can celebrate together…

No matter what I’m feeling, her response is the one

I want to hear before anyone else’s. She is my

sounding board, my confidante, my keeper of

secrets – and my best friend.

Kathleen O’Keefe

Sisters touch your heart in ways no other could. Sisters share… their hopes, their fears, their love, everything they have. Real friendship springs from their special bonds.
Carrie Bagwell

If your sister is in a tearing hurry to go out and cannot catch your eye, she’s wearing your best sweater.
Pam Brown

Both within the family and without,

our sisters hold up our mirrors: our

images of who we are and of who we can dare to be.

Elizabeth Fishel

If you don’t understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child.
Linda Sunshine

Sisters function as safety nets in a chaotic world simply by being

there for each other.

Carol Saline, from “Sisters”

Is solace anywhere more comforting than that in the arms of a sister.
Alice Walker

What sets sisters apart from brothers and also from

friends is a very intimate meshing of heart, soul and

the mystical cords of memory.

Carol Saline, from “Sisters”

Sisters are different. They heard the sobbing in the darkness.

They lived through all your triumphs, all your favorites,

all your loves and losses. They have no delusions.

They lived with you too long.

And so, when you achieve some victory, friends are delighted -

but sisters hold your hands in silence and shine with happiness.

For they know the cost.

Pam Brown

We are sisters. We will always be sisters.
Our differences may never go away, but neither, for me, will our song.
Elizabeth Fishel

To have a loving relationship with a sister is not simply to have a buddy or a confident — it is to have a soulmate for life.
Victoria Secunda

Sisters. Yes, we’re just sisters.

Our story is not heroic, not even

memorable. But when I need

support I sense you quietly by me.

I always will.

Helen Thomson

You can’t think how I depend on you, and when you’re not there the color goes out of my life.
Victoria Woolf — to her sister

Husbands come and go; children come and

eventually they go. Friends grow up and move away.

But the one thing that’s never lost is your sister.

Gail Sheeny, from “Sisters”

Sisters are connected throughout their lives by a special

bond – whether they try to ignore it or not. For better or for

worse, sisters remain sisters, until death do them part.

Brigid McConville,

From “Sisters: Love and Conflict Within The Lifelong Bond”

…if we believed in the media we would think the only significant

relationship in our lives is a romantic one. Yet sisterhood is probably

the one that will last longer than any other…

a sister will always be around.

Jane Dowdeswell, from “Sisters on Sisters”

She is your mirror, shining back at you with a

world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your

worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime,

your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are

smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink.

Some days, she’s the reason

you wish you were an only child.

Barbara Alpert

Write your sister’s weak points in the sand and her strong

points in stone.

A sister is one who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
