Now, this might come as a surprise, but around 80% of Americans have a brother or a sister. Knowing this, it is only natural that there are plenty of sibling sayings emphasizing the unconditional love your siblings give you, the way they get on your nerves, and even that precious love-hate relationship you share with them. So, to weed out the rest and give you the best, we’ve created a list dedicated to sibling quotes, and they’re all only of the best kind. 

So, siblings - can’t live with them, can’t live without them, amirite? Some of these funny sibling quotes are talking exactly about this conundrum, and if you’ve nodded your head reading the previous sentence, these relatable quotes will also evoke the same reaction. Now, there’s also a category of sibling love quotes, too. And those will ring true to those who have no idea about the love-hate relationship we’ve mentioned before. Come to think of it, I have no doubt we can all agree that sibling love shines through even the worst cases of those love-hate instances. Am I right, or am I right again? 

Now, get ready for a dose of quotes for siblings - they are just a bit further down. Once you are there, give the moving quotes you liked the best your vote and share this article with your brothers and sisters. Or the one of the bunch that you like the most, at least.

Some siblings try to one up each other in finances.... In my family-it seems to be how many partners you can have and how many kids you have... According to them-I'm losing. I think it's a win. 30 with no bed partners-EVER and NO kids! (Tho I did raise one-and it was my little sister. We joke her son/my nephew is also my grandkid)
