It's the family you choose that counts.

About This Quote

If you have a close friend, you can trust them with your life. But if you have a close relative, there's no telling what they might do. People who are family are always nice, but sometimes they're nice because it makes them feel good to act that way. They're not always nice because it's the right thing to do.
