More quotes by 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.
Joyce Brothers
Image
I've enjoyed the pleasures of working since I was 12 and earned all my own spending money since I was 14.
Joyce Brothers
Image
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.

Image
There is a rule in sailing where the more maneuverable ship should give way to the less maneuverable craft. I think this is sometimes a good rule to follow in human relationships as well.
Joyce Brothers
Image
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
Image
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.
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.

Credit buying is much like being drunk. The buzz happens immediately and gives you a lift... The hangover comes the day after.
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.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Happiness hides in life’s small details. If you’re not looking, it becomes invisible.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Feeling gratitude isn't born in us-it's something we are taught, and in turn, we teach our children.
Joyce Brothers
Image
When you look at your life the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.
Joyce Brothers
Image
The world at large does not judge us by who we are and what we know it judges us by what we have.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Women do not dress specifically for men or against other women. They dress for their subconscious.
Joyce Brothers
Image
I don't believe in luck. We make our own good fortune.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Studies indicate that the one quality all successful people have is persistence. They're willing to spend more time accomplishing a task and to persevere in the face of many difficult odds. There's a very positive relationship between people's ability to accomplish any task and the time they're willing to spend on it.

Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash.
Joyce Brothers
Image
The simple but observable fact is that the more you love, the more you are able to love.

When you forgive, you gain strength and come out a winner.

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.
