There’s no other love like the love for a brother. There’s no other love like the love from a brother.

Terri Guillemets is an American quotation writer best known for short, aphoristic lines circulated widely on the internet and in greeting-card style collections, often emphasizing family bonds and everyday emotional truths. This saying is typically encountered as a standalone sentiment used for birthdays, sibling tributes, and memorials rather than as a line from a longer literary work or speech. It reflects Guillemets’ characteristic focus on intimate relationships and the distinct roles people play in one another’s lives, especially within families, where affection is shaped by shared upbringing, loyalty, and long familiarity.

The quote distinguishes two complementary experiences: loving a brother and being loved by one. It suggests that sibling love is uniquely textured—part companionship, part rivalry, part lifelong loyalty—formed through shared history rather than choice. By repeating the structure (“There’s no other love like…”), the line elevates brotherly affection to something incomparable, implying it can be both protective and grounding. The second sentence underscores reciprocity: it is not only the speaker’s devotion that matters, but the particular security and recognition that comes from a brother’s love, which can feel unconditional in a way different from romance or friendship.
