Image
For men to be virgins, we think it's negative. We think that there's something wrong with them.
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
Before your dreams can come true, you have to have those dreams.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Marriages, like careers, need constant nurturing... the secret of having it all is loving it all.
Joyce Brothers
Image
In each of us there are places we have never gone. Only by pressing the limits do you ever find them.
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
When success comes in the door, it seems, love often goes out the window.
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
No matter how lovesick a woman is, she shouldn't take the first pill that comes along!
Joyce Brothers
Image
Men are not conditioned to be less powerful than a woman. It will be the wise woman who realizes this and is sensitive to that issue.
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.
Joyce Brothers
Image
I don't give advice. I can't tell anybody what to do. Instead I say this is what we know about this problem at this time. And here are the consequences of these actions.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Sex and love are like tea and milk. They can be mixed or they can be taken straight. Each has certain distinctive characteristics, but when they are combined they form a unique substance.
Joyce Brothers
Image
The best proof of love is trust.
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.
Joyce Brothers
Image
My husband and I have never considered divorce... murder sometimes, but never divorce.
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
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
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.
