More quotes by Joyce Brothers

Image
The need to connect with one another intimately is what makes and keeps us human. The challenge throughout life is to find the courage to reach out to potential partners when our primary relationship ends and to recharge our tried-and-true unions when their sizzle starts to fizzle.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Happiness hides in life’s small details. If you’re not looking, it becomes invisible.
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
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
Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Marriages, like careers, need constant nurturing... the secret of having it all is loving it all.
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
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
Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash.
Joyce Brothers
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
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.
Joyce Brothers
Image
For men to be virgins, we think it's negative. We think that there's something wrong with them.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Real intimacy depends on truth - lovingly told - especially in the bedroom.
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
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.
Joyce Brothers
Image
When you look at your life the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.
Joyce Brothers
Image
Feeling gratitude isn't born in us-it's something we are taught, and in turn, we teach our children.

Image
Credit buying is much like being drunk. The buzz happens immediately and gives you a lift... The hangover comes the day after.
Joyce Brothers
Image
My husband and I have never considered divorce... murder sometimes, but never divorce.

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