If you're looking for quotes that are insightful, upbeat and straight to the point, then Dr. Joyce Brothers quotes fit the bill perfectly. This remarkable woman is definitely an American Icon, and more than a few have turned to her for advice and inspiration. Let us reflect on a few of her pearls of wisdom now with these twelve inspirational quotes by Dr. Joyce Brothers.

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

2. "Trust your hunches.... Hunches are usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level."

3. "Marriage is not just spiritual communion and passionate embraces; marriage is also three meals a day, sharing the workload and remembering to carry out the trash."

4. "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."

5. "Credit buying is much like being drunk. The buzz happens immediately and gives you a lift... The hangover comes the day after."

6. "Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable."

7. "The world at large does not judge us by who we are and what we know; it judges us by what we have."

8. "Anger repressed can poison a relationship as surely as the cruelest words."

9. "No matter how love-sick a woman is, she shouldn't take the first pill that comes along."

10. "If your energy is as boundless as your ambition, total commitment may be a way of life you should seriously consider."

11. "An individual's self-concept is the core of his personality. It affects every aspect of human behavior: the ability to learn, the capacity to grow and change... A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success in life." 12. "In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony."

Whether you love her or hate her (and not many people can find reason to hate her) you have to admit that Dr. Joyce Brothers has some pretty good advice to give. In fact, many of life's lessons can be learned and insight gained just by reading the words which she speaks and writes. These twelve Dr. Joyce Brothers inspirational quotes are a perfect example of that fact.
