Credit buying is much like being drunk. The buzz happens immediately and gives you a lift... The hangover comes the day after.

More quotes by Joyce Brothers

Image
Don't always try to be popular. It isn't possible for everyone to like you. It's far more important for you to like yourself. And when you respect yourself, strangely, you get more respect than when you court it from others.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Women who are confident of their abilities are more likely to succeed than those who lack confidence, even though the latter may be much more competent and talented and industrious.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Sex and love are like tea and milk. They can be mixed or they can be taken straight. Each has certain distinctive characteristics, but when they are combined they form a unique substance.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Marriages, like careers, need constant nurturing... the secret of having it all is loving it all.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery. . . . If you want to influence someone, listen to what he says. . . . When he finishes talking, ask him about any points that you do not understand.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Men have two basic needs. Neither of them, no matter what they say, is sex. They need love and they need work. And work takes priority over love. If a woman could know only one fact about men and work, it should be that work is the most seductive mistress most men ever have.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Strong families use the word we a lot, but I is never forgotten. Family members know they have the freedom to go off on their own, even if the direction is one that we have never followed before. The family message is, We're behind you, so you can be you.

If you change nothing, nothing changes.

Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery.
Joyce Brothers
Image
The cynic finds love with the idealist. The rebel with the conformist. The social butterfly with the bookworm. They help each other balance their lives.

Image
Before your dreams can come true, you have to have those dreams.
Joyce Brothers
Image
I've enjoyed the pleasures of working since I was 12 and earned all my own spending money since I was 14.

Image
My husband and I have never considered divorce... murder sometimes, but never divorce.
Joyce Brothers
Image
The need to connect with one another intimately is what makes and keeps us human. The challenge throughout life is to find the courage to reach out to potential partners when our primary relationship ends and to recharge our tried-and-true unions when their sizzle starts to fizzle.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash.
Joyce Brothers
Image
As a celebrity, you get a certain number of free passes. You're actually in a better position if you're a celebrity because people care.

Nothing brings families together faster than forgiveness. That should make it Step No. 1, but most of us find forgiving hard. We associate it with weakness and losing when, actually, the reverse is true. When you forgive, you gain strength and come out a winner. You break free of control by the other person's actions.

There is a rule in sailing where the more maneuverable ship should give way to the less maneuverable craft. I think this is sometimes a good rule to follow in human relationships as well.

Image
Love, real love, is not simply a state of bliss. It is an ever-changing state, the result of time and emotional development, of trust and commitment.

I have found in work that you only get back what you put into it, but it does come back gift-wrapped.
