~My Sister, My Friend ~

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 totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands.

Christina Rosetti

Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers,
are the bond that keeps most families alive.

Stella Benson

What surprised me was that within a family, the voices of
sisters as they're talking are virtually always the same

Elizabeth Fishel

There is no outsider anywhere who wouldn't
appreciate and even envy the tremendous
advantage that sisters have, if properly
utilizied, against all odds.

Susan Ripps

Sisters, whatever their stories,
instinctively know how fortunate they are.

What we remember from childhood, we remember forever ~
permanent ghosts, stamped, imprinted, eternally seen.

Cynthis Ozick

Heirlooms we don't have in our
family. But stories we've got.

Rose Chernin

A sister is both your mirror ~
and your opposite.

Elizabeth Fishel

I recognize how crucial my realtionship with
my sisters is in the definition of my self.

Barbara Mathias

The family ~ that dear octopus
from whose tentacles we never
quite escape, nor, in our inmost
hearts, ever quite wish to.

Dodie Smith

Where we love is home,
Home that our feet may leave,
but not our hearts.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

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

Margaret Mead

There's a special kind of freedom sisters
enjoy. Freedom to share innermost thoughts,
to ask a favor, to show their true feelings.
The freedom to simply be themselves.

A perfect sister I am not,
But I'm thankful for
the ones I've got.
