― Laura Schlessinger
"It is attitude, infinitely more than circumstance, that determines the quality of life. Life is often quite tough, challenging us to choose between seemingly esoteric, intangible ideals and getting goodies or good vibes right now. You have character when you most often choose ideals."
― Laura Schlessinger
"And you know, when it comes to a long-term, committed relationship: Love is not enough. There are issues of honor, respect, mutuality, sacrifice, acceptance, supportiveness, similarity of life values and morality, to name only a few. They, too, don't come without struggling and striving, but, oh, are they worth it!"
― Laura C. Schlessinger, Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives
"Self-esteem is earned! When you dare to dream, dare to follow that dream, dare to suffer through the pain, sacrifice, self-doubts, and friction from the world--when you show such courage and tenacity--you will genuinely impress yourself. And most important, you will treat yourself accordingly and not settle for less from others--at least, not for long."
― Laura C. Schlessinger, Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives
"The path to solid, supportive, healthy relationships, self-respect, and a quality life starts with the usually painful decision to do the Right Thing."

"You've got to commit to something. I'm not telling you it has to be your life's dream or that it'll get you a Nobel Prize. But it will earn you more ownership of yourself. Commit to something--that is the essence of soul-searching."
― Laura C. Schlessinger, Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives
"You need to be a "good-enough mom"--attentive, loving, and responsive. No one is the perfect mom. As long as you try to be perfect, you will continue to be insignificant in your own eyes."
― Laura C. Schlessinger, Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives
"Learning to endure, transform by perspective or action, and be grateful is the fast lane to a good life. That's right. Having great luck and fortune is not the conduit to a loving and enjoyable life; gratitude is."
― Laura Schlessinger, In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms
"Postponing happiness until "all your ducks are in order" means never because life is not that clean, fair or predictable. It isn't what happens to you that defines your life, it is what you do with it that does."
― Dr. Laura Schlessinger
"How did so many women get to this unhappy place of not understanding how truly "simple" men are in their requirements and how much benevolent power their wives have over them? Why did notions like assuaging "male ego" and using "feminine wiles" rocket into disrepute? How is it that so many women are angry with men in general yet expect to have a happy life married to one of them?
There are a number of reasons for this, and I believe they all revolve around the assault upon, and virtual collapse of, the values of religious morality, modesty, fidelity, chastity, respect for life, and a commitment to family and child-rearing."

"How you feel should be secondary to the good you can do."
― Dr. Laura Schlessinger

― Laura Schlessinger
"There is a reason Dante made betrayal the deepest level of Hell"
― Dr. Laura Schlessinger

― Laura Schlessinger, In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms
"Perhaps the purpose of life is forged moment by moment. If you're going to wait till you find something "bigger than that" before you do anything, then you're doing a sixties kind of "I can't do anything till I find myself."
― Laura C. Schlessinger, Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives
"There is, I believe, no such thing as unconditional self-acceptance. Those who say so are promulgating a pernicious lie. One must first live a decent, honorable and productive life. Only then do you get to feel good about yourself.
Seeking to heedlessly gratify your desires or impulses of the moment to do things (or fail to do things) your conscience knows to be contrary to your standards of right, worthy and virtuous behavior is, in a mental, emotional and spiritual sense, akin to spending capital that you have not earned, and therefore will eventually cause you to feel very negatively … about who and what you are. You cannot in the long run have your cake and eat it too. The longer … you behave in certain ways, the more it comes to define you, not only to others, but also to yourself."
― Laura Schlessinger, Stop Whining, Start Living
"I don't for one moment believe that these folks believe that it is better for an infant or a toddler to be in day care than to be home with Mom. I do believe that these folks feel guilty for not wanting to be at home, so they devise a new reality to compensate for their uncomfortable feelings."
― Laura Schlessinger
"Just hanging around the house is deadly--get out and experience the world together; do things you've never done before!"
― Laura Schlessinger, In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms
"The time spent on family is not a sacrifice. You are living a life with choices; when you make the right ones, you have a good life."
― Laura Schlessinger
"Life is a unique opportunity to explore, create, and give."
― Dr. Laura Schlessinger
"But the reality is that women today do not think of themselves in the context of helping "their man." Women today have been brainwashed into thinking that efforts in that direction are in the category of oppression, subservience, and catering to frail male egos. It is sad that this is the prevalent point of view, because interdependence is what ultimately feeds both the man and the woman what they truly need to be happy."
― Laura Schlessinger
