More quotes by Joyce Brothers
I don't believe in luck. We make our own good fortune.
Joyce Brothers
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
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
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.
Joyce Brothers
When you come right down to it, the secret to having it all is loving it all.
Joyce Brothers
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
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
If you change nothing, nothing changes.
Joyce Brothers
When you forgive, you gain strength and come out a winner.
Joyce Brothers
As a celebrity, you get a certain number of free passes. You're actually in a better position if you're a celebrity because people care.
