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.

The person interested in success has to learn to view failure as a healthy, inevitable part of the process of getting to the top.

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.

Before your dreams can come true, you have to have those dreams.
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.

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.

Nothing brings families together faster than forgiveness. That should make it Step No. 1, but most of us find forgiving hard.

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
Image
Never try to negotiate with anyone after he or she has eaten. People are best persuaded on an empty stomach. And forget power breakfasts. There is no convincing anyone of anything before 10 A.M.

When success comes in the door, it seems, love often goes out the window.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Some men are self-made, but most are the revised work of a wife and children.
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.

When you look at your life the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.

Music is stored in our long-term memory. When we learn something through music, we tend to remember it longer and believe it more deeply. Dr. Joyce Brothers

Happiness hides in life’s small details. If you’re not looking, it becomes invisible.

Any man who watches more than three consecutive football games on TV in one day can be declared legally dead.

The simple but observable fact is that the more you love, the more you are able to love.

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