Sister Quotations
Guest Author - Guest Editor

Sister's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August. Take this opportunity to let your sister (and all of the women in your life - stepsisters, friends, etc...) know how much they mean to you.

  1. "No one knows better than a sister how we grew up, and who our friends, teachers and favorite toys were. No one knows better than she."
    -- Dale V. Atkins

  2. "Help one another, is part of the religion of sisterhood."
    -- Louisa May Alcott

  3. "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

  4. "I don't believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at."
    -- Maya Angelou

  5. "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."
    -- Anonymous

  6. "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

  7. "Between sisters, often, the child's cry never dies down. "Never leave me," it says, "Do not abandon me."
    -- Louise Bernikow

  8. "Sisterly love is, of all sentiments, the most abstract. Nature does not grant it any functions."
    -- Ugo Betti

  9. "I, who have no sisters or brothers, look with some degree of innocent envy on those who may be said to be born to friends."
    -- James Boswell

  10. "Sisters share the scent and smells, the feel of a common childhood."
    -- Pam Brown

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

  12. "Who sees to it that my head stays the right size?"
    -- Pam Brown

  13. "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

  14. "An older sister is a friend and defender, a listener, conspirator, a counselor and a sharer of delights - and sorrows too."
    -- Pam Brown

  15. "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

  16. "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

  17. "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

  18. "When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a chance against us?"
    -- Pam Brown

  19. "Loving a sister is an unconditional narcissistic and complicated devotion that approximates a Mother's love. Sisters are inescapably connected, shaped by the same two parents, the same trove of memory and experience."
    -- Roxanne Brown

  20. "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

  21. "One's sister is a part of one's essential self, an eternal presence of one's heart and soul and memory."
    -- Susan Cabill

  22. "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

  23. "How do people make it through life without a sister?"
    -- Sara Corpening

  24. "What's the good news if you haven't a sister to share it with?"
    -- Jenny De Vries

  25. "I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one might not leave such stillness."
    -- Emily Dickinson

  26. "Sweet is the voice of a sister in the season of sorrow."
    -- Benjamin Disraeli

  27. "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

  28. "Every sister has a fund of embarrassing stories she can bring out at the most effective moment."
    -- Pamela Dugdale

  29. "Siblings are the people we practice on, the people who teach us about fairness and cooperation and kindness and caring - quite often the hard way."
    -- Pamela Dugdale

  30. "A loyal sister is worth a thousand friends."
    -- Marian Eigerman

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

  32. "A sister is both your mirror and your opposite."
    -- Elizabeth Fishel

  33. "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

  34. "The desire to be and have a sister is a primitive and profound one that may have everything or nothing to do with the family a woman is born to. It is a desire to know and be known by someone who shares blood and body, history and dreams."
    -- Elizabeth Fishel

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

  36. "Of two sisters one is always the watcher, one the dancer."
    -- Louise Glück

  37. "Sibling relationships outlast marriages, survive the death of parents, resurface after quarrels that would sink any friendship. They flourish in a thousand incarnations of closeness and distance, warmth, loyalty and distrust."
    -- Erica E. Goode

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

  39. "You can kid the world, but not your sister."
    -- Charlotte Gray

  40. "There is no time like the old time, when you and I were young! "
    -- Oliver Wendell Holmes

  41. "A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life."
    -- Isadora James

  42. "Sisters examine each other so they can have a map for how they should behave."
    -- Michael D. Kahn

  43. "In thee my soul shall own combined the sister and the friend."
    -- Catherine Killigrew

  44. "Our siblings push buttons that cast us in roles we felt sure we had let go of long ago - the baby, the peacekeeper, the caretaker, the avoider. It doesn't seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we've traveled."
    -- Jane Mersky Leder

  45. "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

  46. "We acquire friends and we make enemies, but our sisters come with the territory."
    -- Evelyn Loeb
