Nephews are no less than one’s own children. This Quotabulary article brings to you some really cute quotes about nephews, for all those coolest uncles and aunts out there.
“The love between grandparents and nephews is something precious, an exchange of gifts before the young lift their anchors and the old seek a safe harbour. The meting can be brief or long and full of joy, but everyone will leave it transformed by the other.”

It just seems like yesterday that your brother/sister was getting married. And now, they have given you what is the best feeling in the world… the joy of being an uncle/aunt. The relationship that you share with your nephew is very different than what you have or might have with your own children, especially since you can spoil them as much as you want, and not be blamed for it. Jokes apart, your nieces and nephews really look up to you, and may come to you for advice and comfort from time to time. They may feel more comfortable sharing things that they may not share with their parents. This is what makes this relationship even more special. Buzzle, therefore, has compiled a list of quotes from great minds to describe exactly the kind of bond you share with your nephew.
