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.

More quotes by Joyce Brothers
When you come right down to it, the secret to having it all is loving it all.
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
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
Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery.
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
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
I have found in work that you only get back what you put into it, but it does come back gift-wrapped.
Joyce Brothers
If you change nothing, nothing changes.
Joyce Brothers
Feeling gratitude isn't born in us-it's something we are taught, and in turn, we teach our children.
Joyce Brothers
Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery. . . . If you want to influence someone, listen to what he says. . . . When he finishes talking, ask him about any points that you do not understand.
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
Credit buying is much like being drunk. The buzz happens immediately and gives you a lift... The hangover comes the day after.
Joyce Brothers
For men to be virgins, we think it's negative. We think that there's something wrong with them.
Joyce Brothers
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.
Joyce Brothers
I don't believe in luck. We make our own good fortune.
Joyce Brothers
Any man who watches more than three consecutive football games on TV in one day can be declared legally dead.
Joyce Brothers
Marriages, like careers, need constant nurturing... the secret of having it all is loving it all.
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
Before your dreams can come true, you have to have those dreams.
Joyce Brothers
I've enjoyed the pleasures of working since I was 12 and earned all my own spending money since I was 14.
