No matter how lovesick a woman is, she shouldn't take the first pill that comes along!
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 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
For men to be virgins, we think it's negative. We think that there's something wrong with 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
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
Feeling gratitude isn't born in us-it's something we are taught, and in turn, we teach our children.

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

Image
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.
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.
