I've enjoyed the pleasures of working since I was 12 and earned all my own spending money since I was 14.

Image
Feeling gratitude isn't born in us-it's something we are taught, and in turn, we teach our children.
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
The simple but observable fact is that the more you love, the more you are able to love.
Joyce Brothers
Image
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.

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
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.

Image
Some men are self-made, but most are the revised work of a wife and children.
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.

Image
When you forgive, you gain strength and come out a winner.
Joyce Brothers
Image
I have found in work that you only get back what you put into it, but it does come back gift-wrapped.
Joyce Brothers
Image
I don't believe in luck. We make our own good fortune.

Image
The best proof of love is trust.
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
My husband and I have never considered divorce... murder sometimes, but never divorce.
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
Women do not dress specifically for men or against other women. They dress for their subconscious.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Marriages, like careers, need constant nurturing... the secret of having it all is loving it all.

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.
