More quotes by 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
For men to be virgins, we think it's negative. We think that there's something wrong with them.
Joyce Brothers
Image
No matter how lovesick a woman is, she shouldn't take the first pill that comes along!
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.

My husband and I have never considered divorce... murder sometimes, but never divorce.

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
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.

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.

Image
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.

When you look at your life the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.

Real intimacy depends on truth - lovingly told - especially in the bedroom.

Image
Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery.
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
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.

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

The best proof of love is trust.

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.

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.

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.
