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.
Joyce Brothers
Image
For men to be virgins, we think it's negative. We think that there's something wrong with them.
Joyce Brothers
Image
If a child is given love, he becomes loving ... If he's helped when he needs help, he becomes helpful. And if he has been truly valued at home ... he grows up secure enough to look beyond himself to the welfare of others.

Image
In each of us there are places we have never gone. Only by pressing the limits do you ever find them.
