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

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

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.

No matter how lovesick a woman is, she shouldn't take the first pill that comes along!
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.

When you come right down to it, the secret to having it all is loving it all.
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.

Image
Before your dreams can come true, you have to have those dreams.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Strong families use the word we a lot, but I is never forgotten. Family members know they have the freedom to go off on their own, even if the direction is one that we have never followed before. The family message is, We're behind you, so you can be you.

Image
The world at large does not judge us by who we are and what we know it judges us by what we have.
Joyce Brothers
Image
I don't believe in luck. We make our own good fortune.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Real intimacy depends on truth - lovingly told - especially in the bedroom.
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 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
Women do not dress specifically for men or against other women. They dress for their subconscious.
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.

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.
