Feeling gratitude isn't born in us-it's something we are taught, and in turn, we teach our children.
Joyce Brothers
Image
The person interested in success has to learn to view failure as a healthy, inevitable part of the process of getting to the top.
Joyce Brothers
Image
When you come right down to it, the secret to having it all is loving it all.
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.
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
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.

I've enjoyed the pleasures of working since I was 12 and earned all my own spending money since I was 14.

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

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

When you look at your life the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.
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
The simple but observable fact is that the more you love, the more you are able to love.
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.

The best proof of love is trust.
Joyce Brothers

The only people who don't make mistakes are the people who don't do anything.

Marriages, like careers, need constant nurturing... the secret of having it all is loving it all.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Happiness hides in life’s small details. If you’re not looking, it becomes invisible.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Some men are self-made, but most are the revised work of a wife and children.

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.
