Joyce Brothers

“Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash.”

“Acceptance is not submission; it is acknowledgement of the facts of a situation. Then deciding what you're going to do about it.”

“Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you.”

“Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level.”

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

“The best proof of love is trust.”

“A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success.”

“Success is a state of mind. If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success.”

“Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him.”

“No matter how many goals you have achieved, you must set your sights on a higher one.”

“My favorite six words in recovery are: trust God, clean house, and help others.”

“Being taken for granted is an unpleasant but sincere form of praise.”
