More quotes by Joyce Brothers
Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery.
Joyce Brothers
A woman should never underestimate the power of the child in the man. Sometimes the child seems to be in the driver's seat at the very moment when all a man's adult judgment and insight is needed.
Joyce Brothers
Before your dreams can come true, you have to have those dreams.
Joyce Brothers
Feeling gratitude isn't born in us-it's something we are taught, and in turn, we teach our children.
Joyce Brothers
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.
Joyce Brothers
My husband and I have never considered divorce... murder sometimes, but never divorce.
Joyce Brothers
The only people who don't make mistakes are the people who don't do anything.
Joyce Brothers
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
The topic of trust is an important factor in all matters of the heart - and here's why. Men lie to women. Women lie to men. And most people agree that some lying is even necessary - to avoid petty squabbles and to grease the wheels of a relationship.
Joyce Brothers
There's a very positive relationship between people's ability to accomplish any task and the time they're willing to spend on it.
Joyce Brothers
Men are not conditioned to be less powerful than a woman. It will be the wise woman who realizes this and is sensitive to that issue.
Joyce Brothers
Any man who watches more than three consecutive football games on TV in one day can be declared legally dead.
Joyce Brothers
Women do not dress specifically for men or against other women. They dress for their subconscious.
Joyce Brothers
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
No matter how much pressure you feel at work, if you could find ways to relax for at least five minutes every hour, you’d be more productive.
Joyce Brothers
I don't give advice. I can't tell anybody what to do. Instead I say this is what we know about this problem at this time. And here are the consequences of these actions.
Joyce Brothers
Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can and surely will at times fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk.
Joyce Brothers
Some men are self-made, but most are the revised work of a wife and children.
Joyce Brothers
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.
Joyce Brothers
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.
Joyce Brothers
