Quote

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.

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

Image
Real intimacy depends on truth - lovingly told - especially in the bedroom.
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.

My husband and I have never considered divorce... murder sometimes, but never divorce.

If you change nothing, nothing changes.

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

Image
I don't believe in luck. We make our own good fortune.
Joyce Brothers
Image
The only people who don't make mistakes are the people who don't do anything.
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.

Image
Credit buying is much like being drunk. The buzz happens immediately and gives you a lift... The hangover comes the day after.

Image
Whatever a man thinks about sex, you can be sure that he thinks about sex almost constantly.
Joyce Brothers
Image
The best proof of love is trust.
Joyce Brothers
Image
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.

Image
There's a very positive relationship between people's ability to accomplish any task and the time they're willing to spend on it.
Joyce Brothers
Image
When success comes in the door, it seems, love often goes out the window.
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.

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.
