 A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.  

~Marion C. Garretty

 Help one another, is part of the religion of sisterhood.  

~Louisa May Alcott

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

~Author Unknown

 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 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

 A sister shares childhood memories and grown-up dreams.  

~Author Unknown

 The mildest, drowsiest sister has been known to turn tiger if her sibling is in trouble.  ~Clara Ortega

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

~Chris Montaigne

 Sisters are different flowers from the same garden.  

~Author Unknown

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

~Alice Walker

 A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves - a special kind of double.  

~Toni Morrison

 Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet.  

~Vietnamese Proverb

 “Jo's face was a study next day, for the secret rather weighed upon her, and she found it hard not to look mysterious and important. Meg observed it, but did not troubled herself to make inquiries, for she had learned that the best way to manage Jo was by the law of contraries, so she felt sure of being told everything if she did not ask.” 

-Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

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
