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 goes astray, To lift one if one totters down, To strengthen whilst one stands

Christina Rossetti

For there is no friend like a sister In calm...
For there is no friend like a sister In calm...
For there is no friend like a sister In calm...
About This Quote

Sisters are a source of comfort and strength to those they love. They are a lifeline, a support system, a shoulder to cry on and a friend to rely upon. Sisters know more about us than even our closest friends do. They know the things that we don’t even know about ourselves.

They love us unconditionally and accept us just as we are. When times are good for all concerned, sisters are there to help us through any rough patches that come up along the way.
