Joyce Brothers
Image
My husband and I have never considered divorce... murder sometimes, but never divorce.

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
Image
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.
