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

A sister smiles when one tells one's stories - for she knows where the decoration has been added. - Chris Montaigne

A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost. - Marion C Garretty

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

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

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

A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost. - Marion C. Garretty

You can kid the world. But not your sister. - Charlotte Gray

What's the good of news if you haven't a sister to share it? - Jenny DeVries

If sisters were free to express how they really feel, parents would hear this: "Give me all the attention and all the toys and send Rebecca to live with Grandma." - Linda Sunshine

I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones. - Author unknown, attributed to a 4-year-old named Lauren

When mom and dad don't understand, a sister always will. - Author Unknown

To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time. - Clara Ortega

Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk. - Susan Scarf Merrell

Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers. - Pam Brown

One of the best things about being an adult is the realization that you can share with your sister and still have plenty for yourself. - Betsy Cohen

We may look old and wise to the outside world. But to each other, we are still in junior school. - Charlotte Gray

Whatever you do they will love you; even if they don't love you they are connected to you till you die. You can be boring and tedious with sisters, whereas you have to put on a good face with friends. - Deborah Moggach

You keep your past by having sisters. As you get older, they're the only ones who don't get bored if you talk about your memories. - Deborah Moggach
