Image
Feeling gratitude isn't born in us-it's something we are taught, and in turn, we teach our children.
Joyce Brothers
Image
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.

The best proof of love is trust.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Real intimacy depends on truth - lovingly told - especially in the bedroom.
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.
Joyce Brothers
Image
When success comes in the door, it seems, love often goes out the window.
Joyce Brothers
Image
I don't believe in luck. We make our own good fortune.
Joyce Brothers

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.

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.

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
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
Whatever a man thinks about sex, you can be sure that he thinks about sex almost constantly.
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.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Happiness hides in life’s small details. If you’re not looking, it becomes invisible.
Joyce Brothers
Image
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
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.
Joyce Brothers
Image
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
When you look at your life the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.
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.

Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery.
